Trambusti, based in the province of Florence, was founded in 1934 by Orlando Trambusti and is today run by his son Giovanni and grandchildren Giacomo, Veronica and Francesco. The estate’s 52 hectares (which include gorgeous olive groves) are at an average height of 350 meters above sea level, an altitude that is considered just about perfect for viticulture in Tuscany.
The wines
Trambusti ‘Zipolino’ Trebbiano (€9.59 on promo)
Light, crisp white with delicate citrus and white flower aromas and a simple, fruity palate of apple and lemon. Offers superb easy drinking appeal. Nice aperitif or partner for whitebait fritters and skinny chips.
Trambusti ‘Zipolino’ Sangiovese (€9.59 on promo)
Crisp, lively rosso, with cheerful scents of cherry and herbs, and a medium-bodied, refreshing palate of cranberry, tea and plum. The tannins are fairly light and the wine is made in an easy drinking style. Enjoy with pepperoni pizza or lamb kebabs.
Trambusti ‘Badiolo’ Chianti (€9.99 on promo)
Mid-ruby colour with a nice perfume of black cherry and pepper, and a medium-bodied, flavoursome palate that has juicy hints of plum and capers. Great energy and focus. Good with a mixed grill or aged cheddar.
Trambusti ‘Badiolo’ Chianti Riserva (€11.99 on promo)
Warm Mediterranean nose of dried fruit and sage, with a classic Sangiovese palate of forest fruits and violets bound up in a tight, silky texture and run through with a delicious mineral thread. Breezily elegant and effortlessly drinkable! A great food wine – try with sausage casserole with garlic toasts.
