70% Granaccia (a local biotype of Grenache), and the balance is Rossese, Barbera, Cinsault and Marselan. From south facing vineyards, near the Mediterranean, in Ortovero and Pogli. The vineyards consist of poor soil, pebbly limestone of sedimentary origin, and streaks of calcareous blue clay. Mediterranean microclimate, mitigated by the constant sea breezes. Vine age spans from 5 to 40 yrs old. The wine is produced as a staggered field blend-- in 2015 two harvests took place, based on the level of maturity. Each harvest was cofermented, so in 2015 there were two stainless steel tanks. Maceration on the skins for six days with three daily pumpovers. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at close to 24°. The wine remains in steel for 8 months, where malo is also completed. Matured in bottle for at least a month. Bansigu means see-saw, as the children’s drawing on the label indicates. It is meant to be an easy, but assertive wine with a clear Mediterranean imprint.

green grapes

Varietal: Grenache

Grenache grapes have long been cultivated in various parts of Europe, and are noted for being particularly successful in arid regions which are both hot and very dry. As such, they are ideal for many New World countries, and have quickly established themselves as one of the most widely grown red wine grape varietals in the world. The Grenache grape is easily identifiable by its purple skin, and tightly hanging bunches which grow quite rigorously in the correct conditions. They are most commonly associated with light bodied wines, with little tannins or acidity, yet quite a high alcohol content. As such, they are very versatile, and are regularly used for both single variety and blended wines, in which their strong and unique features can shine through.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
