“Badesco” is Bonacchi’s Super Tuscan interpretation, offering full-bodied richness and velvety texture in a blend driven by ripe fruit, gentle spice, and food-friendly freshness. The fruit is sourced across Tuscany’s rolling hills, where the interplay of maritime climate and clay-limestone soils gives Italian reds their backbone and aromatic lift.
Cantine Bonacchi, based in Quarrata (PT) in Tuscany, is a multi-generation family estate focused on producing classic regional wines with contemporary appeal. Their philosophy matches local tradition with accessible, fruit-driven styles prized by modern drinkers.
Badesco’s blend is 60% Sangiovese, with 20% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon providing supple texture and greater depth. Traditional fermentation is followed by maturation in both stainless steel and oak to balance fruit intensity with structure and subtle sweet spice.The process highlights Sangiovese’s tangy red berry profile while smoothing tannins with merlot’s plushness and cabernet’s grip.
In the glass, expect a limpid, intense ruby color and a bouquet weaving ripe raspberry, currant, strawberry, and hard cherry with violet and sweet spice—vanilla and cinnamon standing out on the finish. The palate is plush and balanced: soft, silky tannins frame savory, persistent fruit and a gentle balsamic lift in the aftertaste. Approachable now yet ageable for short-term cellaring, it excels at cooler serving temperatures and with hearty fare.
