Bakkanali K Monte Amiata IGT 2022

Wine Description for Bakkanali K Monte Amiata IGT 2022 by Bakkanali

Colour & Appearance

Medium-intensity ruby red with brilliant clarity – a classic Sangiovese profile that signals youth and freshness.

Nose

Fascinatingly multi-layered: dark cherries and ripe mulberries form the fruity foundation, whilst smoked black bacon and spicy smoke notes create a seductive complexity. Black pepper and cardamom in the top notes, underpinned by dark tobacco and freshly roasted coffee – an aromatic interplay between fruit and spice that awakens curiosity.

Palate

Surprisingly juicy and more fruit-driven than the spicy nose would suggest. Jovial cherry fruit meets a vibrant acidity that lends the wine tension and drinking flow. The fine-grained phenolics are perfectly integrated – never dominant, yet structured enough to guarantee pace and precision. A modern, transparent vinification that showcases Sangiovese in its most accessible form.

Finish

Medium-length with lingering fruit notes and a spicy echo. The acidity maintains freshness right through – a wine that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

From Monte Amiata, an extinct volcano in southern Tuscany, renowned for cooler vineyard sites and mineral soils. This altitude preserves the freshness and elegance of Sangiovese even in warmer vintages.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Sangiovese, vinified in a modern style with focus on fruit clarity and drinking pleasure. The subtle spice hints at brief oak contact or stainless steel ageing – purism with character.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Perfect with Pasta all’Amatriciana, grilled lamb cutlets, Saltimbocca alla Romana or medium-aged Pecorino. Also an excellent choice with pizza with salami or tomato bruschetta.

Special Features

An uncomplicated, yet by no means simple Sangiovese for the “carefree hours of existence” – as it could hardly be better expressed. Excellent value for money for a characterful Tuscan everyday wine.
