Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

To make the Ziobaffa Rosso they harvest the perfectly ripe Sangiovese and Syrah grapes around the middle of September from their organic vineyard located very close to the Tuscan coast.

The harvest is made by hand and fermented in the Estate cellar dedicated to organic wines, where the wine is further refined. They give time to the Sangiovese in order to become softer and then balance the bright acidity blending it with a small portion of a juicy Syrah, so to obtain a very mild and elegant Tuscan classic rich of black cherry and blackberry Flavors that meet up with smooth tannins. The long, juicy aftertaste echoes fruit, spice, and earth notes. This is also a perfect clean summer red if served fresh.

    Lots of sweet and sour cherries with some orange-peel character. Medium to full body, medium tannins and a fresh finish. Very lively.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Ziobaffa Organic Rosso is fresh, bright, and savory. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of red and black fruits, with a note of rustic spices. Enjoy it with flavorful meat stews. (Tasted: June 19, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

During a trip through Italy with surfer-environmentalist, Chris Del Moro and fifth generation winemaker, Piergiorgio Castellani, Baffa's passion for good food, thirst-quenching libation and a few late-night practical jokes, inspired the local crew of surfers to nick-name him, Zio Baffa (Uncle Baffa).

Under the guidance of vintner Castellani, ZIOBAFFA™ wine is crafted in a zero-waste facility located in the heart of Tuscany. From California, Baffa works closely with Castellani to manage the operations. Our collective focus is to bring the world affordable, high-quality Italian wines that are produced with an eco-minded awareness. Call it an Italian-Californian collaboration or maybe just a modern twist on an old tradition.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
