Wine Description:
The Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2021 is a refined expression of the iconic Chianti Classico region in Tuscany. Dominated by Sangiovese (90%), this organic red wine offers an exceptional balance of fruit and earthiness that will captivate wine enthusiasts. On the nose, it presents a complex bouquet of violet, iris, ripe cherry, tobacco, and a hint of black pepper, creating a layered aromatic profile. These alluring fragrances set the stage for a beautifully structured palate, where the wine’s tightly knit tannins offer a firm yet supple texture. The wine is warm and persistent, with an elegant finish that features a subtle mineral note, adding depth and refinement to every sip.
The freshness of the cherry fruit harmonises perfectly with the earthy nuances of tobacco and pepper, while a touch of violet enhances its floral elegance. This Chianti Classico delivers both character and finesse, offering a wine that is beautifully balanced and will evolve gracefully with age. Ideal for pairing with classic Italian dishes, grilled meats, and cheeses, this wine is a true celebration of Tuscan terroir.

| Winery | The grapes come from the heart of the Sienese part of Chianti Classico, from Monti (Gaiole) and Vitignano Castelnuovo Berardenga. The wine is made from Sangiovese and the traditional complementary varieties of Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo. The newer vines have been replanted using the traditional 'massive selection' propagation method, which involves taking cuttings from the exceptionally old vines on the property; this is key to Badia a Coltibuono's vision and its relationship with the terroir and its history. The vineyard is situated at 250 to 330 meters elevation, where breezes help to ventilate the vines and keep them healthy. The soils are clay loam with 15-25% clay, which retains water and minerals to nourish the vines, and limestone rock, which produces elegant wines. To maximise sun exposure, the vines are planted with varied aspects, predominantly facing south and east. The vineyard has been organically cultivated since 1995 and certified since 2003. No herbicides or insecticides have been used since 1985, and in 2013, the estate was certified by Delinat. |
