A Historic Estate Committed to Sustainability
Badia a Coltibuono, meaning "Abbey of the Good Harvest," is a symbol of heritage and excellence. Located in Gaiole in Chianti, the estate spans 74 hectares and has been passed down through six generations of the Stucchi Prinetti family. Under the guidance of winemaker Roberto Stucchi, the winery embraces low-intervention, gravity-fed vinification, allowing the character of each vineyard site to shine.
Vineyard Origins and Winemaking
The grapes for this Chianti Classico come from organically farmed vineyards at elevations of 250–330 metres. The soil is composed of clay loam and limestone, offering excellent drainage and mineral complexity. Traditional massal selection techniques help preserve the genetic diversity of the estate’s old vines. Hand-harvested fruit undergoes wild yeast fermentation and gentle maceration, followed by ageing in large French and Austrian oak casks for 12 months.

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. |
