Over the centuries it passed through the hands of the noble Niccolini family, a Florentine hospital, and eventually the Boddi family before falling into disrepair. In the late 1960s the Farkas family purchased the neglected estate and undertook a major renovation, rebuilding the cellars and replanting the vineyards. Since 2016 the property has been owned by ISA, a Trento-based investment group that has continued to invest in the estate's quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBasilica San Martino, first produced in 1985 and named for a nearby medieval church, comes from a single 3.82-hectare, south-facing vineyard planted on silty clay over marl limestone and sandstone. Grapes are hand harvested in early October, fermented in stainless steel with manual punch-downs, then aged eighteen months in French oak barriques that have seen prior use, allowing a gentle, spontaneous malolactic fermentation to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wine shows clear ruby color with a brightening rim, offering ripe cherry and black forest berry aromas alongside a leathery, savory edge. The palate is fruity and well balanced, with fine tannins and a long, powerful finish. It pairs well with braised wild boar, grilled quail, or a firm aged pecorino.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cafaggio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46308785488058,"sku":"104819","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/CafaggioSanMartinoBottle_779510c7-687d-40fd-ad15-2e387e6c24b1.jpg?v=1786124802","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2018-cafaggio-chianti-classico-gran-selezione-docg-basilica-san-martino-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
