Fattoria di Basciano

Chianti Rufina producer of Sangiovese-led wines and traditional Vin Santo.

Fattoria di Basciano sits in Chianti Rufina, the northeastern corner of Tuscany's most celebrated wine zone. The estate works with Sangiovese, the region's backbone grape, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and the white varieties Malvasia and Trebbiano. Its Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina—a fortified wine of dried grapes—shows the complexity that emerges from extended aging in wood. The Vigna Il Corto blends Sangiovese with Cabernet, a marriage of Tuscan tradition and international structure. A straight Sangiovese bottling, labeled Rosso dei Colli della Toscana Centrale & Chianti Rufina, anchors the portfolio. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The winery's work reflects Chianti's terroir: high-altitude vineyards, clay-limestone soils, and the continental climate that gives Sangiovese its characteristic acidity and mineral spine.
