The wine

Badia a Coltibuono: The soul of Chianti Classico Riserva 2015

I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany, where history and passion blend in a glass. This Chianti Classico Riserva is not just a wine, it is an encounter with the very essence of a thousand-year-old terroir, a promise of authenticity and refinement.

The historic cradle of Badia a Coltibuono

Nestled in the heart of Chianti Classico, the Badia a Coltibuono estate draws its roots from a history dating back to the 11th century. It is in this exceptional land that this wine is born, mainly made from the Sangiovese grape, complemented by Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. The 2015 vintage, in particular, is a testament to the estate's commitment to quality and tradition.

This wine reveals itself to you with an intense ruby red color, which evolves towards garnet hues over time. On the nose, you will discover a rich and complex bouquet: aromas of ripe red fruits mingle with spicy and balsamic notes. On the palate, its structure is robust, carried by ripe and well-integrated tannins, and a lively freshness that leads to a long and persistent finish. Traditional fermentation with extended maceration and aging of at least 24 months in oak barrels contribute to this complexity.

The perfect pairing: a Tuscan symphony

To fully appreciate this Chianti Classico Riserva, I suggest you pair it with dishes that will converse with its richness. Imagine it alongside grilled red meats, flavorful game or aged cheeses. It is the ideal companion for a special dinner, an invitation to conviviality and sharing, or simply a wine for meditation for moments when you seek a deep and thoughtful tasting experience. Let yourself be carried away by this authentic expression of Tuscany.
