About the Wine
Respect for biodiversity, the health of the workers, and the environment are the cornerstones from which Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico is born. In the heart of the Sienese part of Chianti Classico, from our vineyards in Monti (Gaiole) and Vitignano (Castelnuovo Berardenga) we harvest Sangiovese grapes from our massale selection with small quantities of complementary grapes. The vinification takes place with spontaneous yeasts in the modern cellar of Monti using delicate techniques to maximize the expression of the complexity and balance of these grapes. For its long history and its consistency over time it is considered one of the reference points of the denomination. The wine was aged 12 months in french and Austrian oak casks of varying sizes.
Tasting Notes
The color is bright ruby, the nose unveils layers of iris, violet, tobacco, black pepper, and marasca cherry. The taste is well-balanced and tightly knit with supple tannins, mineral notes, and a mouth-cleansing fresh acidity. Warm and persistent.
Pairing Recommendation
First courses such as pasta. Meat dishes and moderately aged cheeses.
