- This rare and harmonious blend of nine indigenous varieties from Chianti, results in a richly concentrated and complex wine, with black fruits, herbal nuances, and peppery spice, enveloped in a silky texture.
The grapes were hand-harvested and each variety was vinified separately. Fermentation took place with wild yeasts at controlled temperatures below 28°C in 5- hectolitre open-top tonneaux. Extended maceration on the skins lasted 40 to 60 days with manual punchdowns to maximise the expression of complexity and balance. The wine was matured for 12 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, of which no more than 10% were new, followed by 6-8 months in cask after blending.

| Winery | Badia a Coltibuono has been engaged in the study and recovery of the native, ancient varieties. Paying homage to traditional Chianti wines (which could include up to 100 varieties), this is an assemblage of nine traditional varieties in equal proportions and 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. |
