Barbanera is a Chianti producer in Toscana, central Italy. The winery works primarily with Sangiovese, the region's signature variety, alongside complementary grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Merlot. Its flagship wines reflect this approach: Il Messo Governo Toscana, a pure Sangiovese expression rooted in traditional Tuscan winemaking; Vecciano Rosé, a Sangiovese and Cabernet blend; and Gigino 80 Anniversario, a structured blend of Syrah, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Sangiovese. These wines have been rated by Falstaff and Wine Enthusiast. Barbanera's portfolio demonstrates the range possible within Chianti's framework—from the mineral-driven character of Sangiovese to the depth that emerges when international varieties join the blend.
