Description
The Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva 2018 shows the results of an excellent vintage. It is a harmonious and elegant red wine. It keeps all the promises of Chianti Sangiovese: complexity, elegance and freshness. Mineral notes appear on the finish and the tannin is well integrated.
Located in Gaiole in Chianti, the history of Badia a Coltibuono dates back to 1051 and to the order of Vallombrosan monks. The current owners are the brothers Emanuela, Roberto, Paolo and Guido Stucchi Prinetti.
There are 74 hectares of vineyards mostly in the Monti sub-area, also in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti.
One of the prides of Badia a Coltibuono is the heritage of ancient Sangiovese settlers, used to replant key sites at higher densities of 7-8,000 Sangiovese plants per hectare.
In 1996 the new cellar in Monti saw the light, and with the 2003 harvest came the organic certification
