IN SHORT
Insider’s Tuscan gem – elegant, savoury, timeless
BASILE
Basile has been making organic wine in the hills of Maremma since 1999 — long before it was trendy. Giovan Battista Basile took over an abandoned estate and, together with his family and winemaker Maurizio Saettini, turned it into a thriving patch of vines surrounded by wild Tuscan woodland. Everything here is hands-on: no weedkillers, horse manure for fertiliser, hand-harvested grapes and small-batch winemaking in oak and steel. From pure Sangiovese to crisp Vermentino blends, the wines are elegant, honest and a true taste of southern Tuscany — proof that respect for land and family can make bottles sing.
