2024 Bibbiani R Super Tuscan Cabernet Blend Toscana

This beauty comes from the legendary Treggiaia hills, where the soils are rich in sandstone and ancient marine fossils—making every drop a true reflection of its epic terroir. Smooth, powerful, and full of personality, Treggiaia is a wine that’s impossible to ignore.

Villa Bibbiani is a true gem in the heart of Tuscany, with over 1300 years of history. Gambero Rosso said it’s “much more than a winery, much more than an estate.” We couldn’t agree more.

The origins of Villa Bibbiani stretch back to the Middle Ages, when the estate belonged to a Benedictine monastery. But its modern history began in the 1700s when it was acquired by the Frescobaldi family—Italian royalty known for founding vineyards and planting the iconic botanical garden (which still thrives today) by Cosimo Ridolfi, the father of modern Italian agriculture.

Today, the estate is owned by a doctor from Houston who sold his San Antonio healthcare group to United Healthcare. He’s spared no expense in upgrading the winery over the past decade, bringing in a young, talented winemaker, and once again, the wines are receiving the critical acclaim they’ve had for centuries.

Leopoldo Morara, Villa Bibbiani’s winemaker, brings expertise from top estates in France, Chile, and New Zealand. He’s been leading the winemaking team since 2018, and his passion for the craft shines through in every bottle. Leopoldo says, “The key to making good wine is maximum respect for the terroir, and we work solely along these lines.”

Villa Bibbiani is in a magical place that’s even been captured in Leonardo da Vinci’s art. Set in the hills of Montalbano, between Capraia and Limite, this sprawling property covers 1,000 acres, including the famous Villa (a 5-star accommodation), botanical gardens, olive orchards, vineyards, and an ancient cellar. The property boasts rich flora, fauna, and biodiversity, making it a truly unique estate.

The vineyards stretch from the slopes of Montalbano Hill to the Church of San Jacopo in Pulignano. They are planted with Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, Cabernet Sauvignon, and other native grapes, with vines ranging from 20 to 50 years old. This diversity in grape varieties gives the wine complexity and depth that reflect the unique terroir of this extraordinary region.

Villa Bibbiani is the perfect combination of tradition and modernity. The state-of-the-art vinification area and the ancient cellar, paired with Tuscan winemaking tradition, create exceptional wines that are both surprising and unforgettable.

This blend from Toscana IGT is built for drinkers who want Napa-level structure and polish without the Napa price tag.

Described as a “champion in both virtue and composition,” this exceptional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot delivers a creamy texture and pure, beautifully focused fruit.

The wine shows the precision and balance you'd expect from a producer with nearly a millennium of history on the same land.
