Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you to a hidden treasure, a bottle that embodies the very spirit of Chianti Classico. This wine is an encounter with history, tradition and the passion of a thousand-year-old estate.
In the heart of Tuscany, in the historic Chianti Classico region, lies the Badia a Coltibuono estate. Its history dates back to 1051, a Benedictine abbey transformed into a vineyard, where every stone and every vine tells of centuries of know-how. This Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 is mainly made from Tuscany's emblematic grape variety, Sangiovese, complemented by small proportions of other authorised local varieties.
Its robe is a brilliant ruby red, which will tend towards garnet with time. On the nose, I perceive a symphony of aromas: ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, floral notes of violet, enriched with spicy nuances, tobacco and a delicate balsamic touch. On the palate, this wine reveals remarkable harmony and balance. Its tannic structure is present but elegant, supported by a fresh acidity that prolongs the pleasure on a fruity, persistent finish. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins, then ageing for at least 12 months in barrels of different sizes, including large oak casks.
To accompany this Chianti Classico, I suggest you turn to the authentic flavours of Tuscany. Picture it alongside grilled red meats, aged cheeses or a pasta dish with ragù. This is a wine that invites sharing and conviviality, and will turn a simple meal into a true celebration of the senses.
