Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Reserva

Badia a Coltibuono is steeped in history, dating back to 1051, when a community of Vallombrosan monks resided in an abbey built on the property, known as ‘Badia’. ‘Cultibuono’ comes from the Latin of the era meaning ‘good harvest’.

Since the 2003 vintage, the estate has been certified organic. The 74-hectare estate has been passed down through six generations of the Stucchi Prinetti family. Currently the estate is run by the present generation, siblings Emanuela, Guido, Paolo and winemaker Roberto. Crafted in a gravity-fed winery, Roberto Stucchi, has always been an advocate of hands-off winemaking, allowing his wines to express the true aromas and flavour profiles of the region. The vineyard is situated around the village on Monti, near Siena at 250 to 330 metres elevation, where breezes help to ventilate the vines and keep them healthy. 

Made from the traditional blend of Sangiovese and 10% of complementary varieties Colorino, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo. This Chianti has ample notes of Blackberry, Plum and Blackcurrant which is layered with spice, tobacco and davoury overtones. Refined tannins for a fresh and balanced finish.
