BAKKANALI is a young biodynamic winery located 600M above sea level on the northwest slope of the Monte Amiata. We grow 8.5 hectares of vines, mainly Sangiovese, and 300 Olive trees. We believe that the old volcano is the perfect place to product elegant and fine wines. The terroir is vocated to fight the changing climate and is the perfect partner for organic cultivation. Our wines are free of any chemical ingredient, all you can find in our bottles is a pure grape juice, with a deep identity of this magnificent volcanic soil
“It’s a matter of putting your trust in the place and in the fruit it bears, allowing it to complete its transformation with indigenous yeasts; the more we interfere with the grapes or the vines during this process, seeking to direct their path, the farther we go from the direction the grape would naturally have taken, and this is how the terroir is revealed, becoming the voice of the place. Good wine, revealing all the details of a complex terroir, must be allowed plenty of space; nature must be free to reveal itself, both in the vineyard and in the wine cellar, and man can facilitate this flowering by putting himself at its service, or else he can impose his own convictions and ideas, dissolving the spirit of the wine.”
