Basile

The Basile estate was formed in 1999, only a year after the Montecucco DOCG was created, when Giovan Battista Basile purchased vineyards that had been abandoned for over 30 years. Organic and biodynamic practices were put into place from the very beginning, as the family began to farm their eight hectares of vines. This choice site sits at high elevations between 330 to 380 meters above sea level, with calcareous soils and naturally protected by the surrounding forests. The estate’s portfolio of wines are matured between 12 and 24 months in a combination of tonneau and barriques, yet the wood management is perfectly balanced. I found these to be some of the most enjoyable wines of my tastings.
