Portrait of Simone Bartolozzi

i. Biography

Simone Bartolozzi works in wine with a quiet, exacting kind of attention: patient in the cellar, grounded in place, and attentive to balance. At Baciate Me in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Italy, he shapes wines that carry a Tuscan sense of poise, with a steady hand on the estate’s identity and a clear respect for what the site is asking for. His name is closely associated with AVENNE CHIANTI CLASSICO DOCG, Spepera, and Baciate Me TOSCANA ROSSO IGT, three bottlings that sit at the center of his profile and point to a maker working between tradition and nuance. The winemaker’s day is often defined by delayed results: cellar coolness, measured decisions, and the long interval between intent and bottle. Bartolozzi’s work at Baciate Me belongs to that pace. It shows less in volume than in structure, texture, and a sense of place that reads in the glass without needing to be announced. In San Casciano in Val di Pesa, that restraint functions as a kind of confidence.
