About this wine
Outside Tuscany, Barbanera also produces wines from Puglia in southern Italy. This Puglia IGT blends Aglianico and Primitivo into an intense dark red wine with purple hues, good texture and structure. The nose shows deep blackberry, subtle floral notes, and round sweet spice, while the palate is dense, powerful, and persistent — a bold Southern Italian red at around 13% ABV.
A bold, warm-climate red for those who enjoy dark fruit and firm tannins beyond Tuscany's Sangiovese.
Sommelier's Note
"Two of Puglia's boldest grapes in one bottle — this is Barbanera showing that Tuscany isn't its only strength."
Food Pairings
Best with red meats of all kinds, and mature or semi-mature cheeses; its power also stands up to grilled sausages and barbecue.
When to drink it
Barbecues, hearty red-meat dinners, cheese-focused gatherings

Chianti
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo · Ciliegiolo
Barbanera's entry-level Chianti DOCG is a fresh, fruit-forward red built around Sangiovese blended with small amounts of Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo. Fermented mainly in stainless steel to preserve immediacy, it shows ruby color, cherry and violet aromatics, and soft, approachable tannins at roughly 13% ABV — a straightforward, everyday expression of Tuscan Sangiovese.

Chianti Riserva
RedSangiovese · Merlot · Canaiolo Nero
A step up from the base Chianti, this Riserva DOCG blends Sangiovese with Merlot and Canaiolo Nero, aged longer to develop plush texture and savory complexity. Expect violet and fresh cherry aromatics, medium-intensity fine-grained tannins, and a peppery, spice-tinged finish with notes of dark plum and tea. Around 13% ABV.

Chianti Governo
RedSangiovese
Made using the traditional Tuscan 'governo' method, a portion of the Sangiovese grapes are partially dried before a secondary fermentation is triggered in the finished wine, adding roundness and a touch of appassimento-like richness. The result is a fruitier, softer Chianti DOCG with blackberry and forest-berry aromatics, hints of violet and balsamic, and well-balanced, approachable tannins at around 13.5% ABV.

Chianti Classico Riserva
RedSangiovese · Merlot · Canaiolo Nero
Barbanera's Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG, made predominantly from Sangiovese with Merlot and Canaiolo Nero, follows the stricter Chianti Classico appellation rules and the extended Riserva aging requirement. It shows violet and fresh cherry aromatics, fine-meshed medium-intensity tannins, and good tension, at around 13% ABV — a more structured, age-worthy step above regular Chianti.
ドゥーカ・ディ・サラニャーノ ヴィーノ・ノービレ・ディ・モンテプルチャーノ
Duca di Saragnano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo Nero
Bottled under Barbanera's 'Duca di Saragnano' label — named for the friendship between the Barbanera family and one of the last heirs of the Duke of Saragnano — this Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG is built mainly from Sangiovese (locally called Prugnolo Gentile) with Canaiolo Nero. Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, it offers a broad, persistent bouquet of violet and berries with elegant tobacco notes, structured tannins from cask aging, and an elegant, refined character at roughly 13-13.5% ABV.

Ser Passo
RedSangiovese · Cabernet Sauvignon · Merlot
A Toscana Rosso IGT 'Super Tuscan' style wine from Barbanera, blending Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A portion of the Sangiovese grapes is dried for 7-13 days before fermentation, losing up to 30% of their weight and concentrating fruitiness and ripeness. Part of the blend is then aged four months in new French barrique, resulting in a bold, velvety, full-bodied wine loaded with ripe dark cherry, plum, creamy chocolate, and toasty oak, around 14% ABV.
