Crafted from a rare and exceptional blend of nine indigenous Chianti grape varieties, this wine showcases the true essence of the region’s terroir.

This red wine greets the palate with vibrant black fruit flavours, including ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum, woven together with subtle balsamic undertones and hints of peppery spice. The medium-bodied structure is beautifully supported by a smooth, velvety texture, making it an ideal companion for both hearty meals and special occasions.

| Winery | Badia a Coltibuono has been studying and recovering the native, ancient varieties. Paying homage to traditional Chianti wines (which could include up to 100 varieties), this assemblage of nine traditional varieties in equal proportions is the antithesis of contemporary single-varietal wines. The vineyard is situated in Monti, Chianti at 250 to 330 meters elevation, where breezes help to ventilate the vines and keep them healthy. The limestone clay-rich soils retain water and minerals, nourishing the vines and producing elegant wines. The vines are planted with predominantly south and east-facing aspects to maximize exposure to the sun. This combination of soils and aspects in Monti are the essential factors that impart depth and elegance to the Montebello IGT wine. 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. |
