The Latest Vintages from Bindi Sergardi
21st September 2026
The new vintages of our favourite Tuscan reds from Bindi Sergardi have arrived at FromVineyardsDirect. The late Steven Spurrier introduced us to the hugely talented Alessandra Bindi Segardi, having warmly recommended her wines at a wine fair some years ago. Steven was right!
With 23 generations of winemaking on a property dating back to the early 14th century, Bindi Sergardi are woven very deeply into Sienese history and tradition. Bindi Segardi are Tuscan winemaking. The estate’s beautiful 1000 hectares are set among the ancient villages of Vagliagli and Monteriggioni and within Chianti’s three prestigious DOCGs: Classico, Chianti and Chianti Colli. Alessandra has been at the helm since 2005, bringing new light to the family business and ensuring their Achille, Governo all'uso and 'La Ghirlanda' continue in rendering wines of exceptional elegance and expression.
One of our bestselling Italian reds, and it’s easy to see why. This deliciously approachable Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Merlot is packed with ripe, juicy black cherry and brambly fruit, lifted by sangiovese’s characteristic sweet-and-sour tang and vibrant freshness. Soft tannins and subtle smoky, earthy notes add complexity without sacrificing its irresistible drinkability. Generous, characterful and wonderfully versatile at the table, the excellent 2025 is everything we love about Achille.
"...a juicy, brambly blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, vinified and aged in stainless steel for freshness, with just a touch of old oak at the end for texture. With its welcoming ripe, sweet fruit and soft tannins, Toine thought it the perfect house wine, with no need to spend more."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator
Nicolo Governo all'Uso Toscano IGT, 2021
A fascinating and deliciously opulent expression of Tuscan Sangiovese. Bindi Sergardi’s Nicolò is made using the ancient Governo all’Uso Toscano method, adding specially selected dried grapes to the young wine for a second fermentation. The result is wonderfully rich and harmonious: ripe dark cherry and plum mingle with fig, dried fruit, tobacco and earthy spice, while vibrant freshness and fine, gripping tannins keep everything beautifully balanced. A distinctive Tuscan red with real depth, character and personality.
Here, the traditional Tuscan 'Governo' practice of integrating partially dried grapes to the vinification process adds an extra level of intensity and texture for a well-structured, harmonious and layered palate.
"Plums, plump cherries, charcoal, vanilla bean and sweet spices make for a fragrant nose. It?s generous and inviting on the full-bodied palate, with berry-soaked tannins. Drink now or hold." James Suckling, 92/100 pts., (previous vintage)
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2023
From the family's Tenuta Marcianella in Montepulciano, the 2020 Vino Nobile is a delicious new addition to our range from Bindi Sergardi. Perfumed, complex and very expressive on the nose with ripe plum and black cherry fruit and a little exotic spice from its 18 months barrel maturation. Vibrant and flavourful with soft, silky tannin - a little plumper darker and rounder perhaps than its neighbour Chianti, and a fine expression of Sangiovese.
"...also from Sangiovese, of course, was aged for 18 months in oak and six months in bottle before release, and is absolutely singing. With spicy dark fruit, olives and truffles cloaked in silky tannins, it too slipped down beautifully alongside the risotto." Jonathan Ray, The Spectator
'I Colli' Chianti Classico Reserva, Bindi Sergardi 2020
A beautifully expressive Chianti Classico Riserva and one of Bindi Sergardi’s finest interpretations of Sangiovese. The 2020 I Colli is fragrant with ripe fruit, flowers and spice, followed by a wonderfully supple palate where vibrant acidity brings freshness and energy. Sweet, mature tannins provide polish and structure, while traditional ageing in large oak barrels adds depth without obscuring the wine’s pure Tuscan character. Refined, lively and impressively long.
'Ser Gardo' Chianti Classico 2024
Bright ruby red in colour, with an enticing aroma of spiced cherries and aromatic floral notes. Fresh, luscious and elegant in style, but also with profound, plump berry fruit to the fore. Fine balance here of fruit, tannin and texture - an excellent Chianti.
"...also made entirely from Sangiovese, in this instance aged in large oak barrels after full malolactic fermentation. A spell in bottle adds a touch of refinement to the luscious, cherry-rich fruit and it was an ideal match for Mrs Rays fabled herb and mushroom risotto."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator
'Mocenni 89' Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, 2019
An outstanding expression of Sangiovese and the distinctive terroir of Mocenni. The 2019 89 Mocenni combines vibrant red berry fruit with intriguing notes of incense and citrus marmalade, leading to a full, savoury and beautifully poised palate. Refined tannins and Sangiovese’s naturally bright acidity bring elegance, energy and impressive length, while a pronounced mineral, saline character speaks clearly of its origins. Complex, distinctive and wonderfully refined.
"...a huge hit, especially with Jeni who, after a French 75 (and four glasses of red) declared that she didn’t drink red wine but loved this. And it is indeed a beauty, with vibrant red and dark fruit, forest floor notes, elegant tannins and that lively Sangiovese acidity." - Jonathan Ray, The Spectator
