Bonizio is a skilful blend of choice Merlot from Tuscany’s coastal Maremma zone and select Sangiovese from the hills of Chianti Classico. The Mediterranean climate and sandy soil of the Maremma yield a perfectly ripe Merlot that is rich in fruit and good acidity. The higher altitude and mineral laden clayey soil of the Chianti Classico zone produce a flavourful Sangiovese with soft and persistent tannins. Blending these two grape varieties makes for a wine that is round on the palate, elegantly balances and full of flavour. Ruby red with purple reflections, Bonizio is fruit forward, offering aromas and flavours reminiscent of raspberry and blackberries. Great entry on the palate with expressions of ripe red fruits. Rich and complex, it has a lingering finish with hints of spice.
