Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a gem of Chianti Classico, a wine that embodies the very essence of Tuscany. This Riserva from Badia a Coltibuono is not just a wine, it's a story, a philosophy, a sensory journey to the heart of a centuries-old tradition.
In the heart of Chianti Classico, Badia a Coltibuono, whose name "Cultus Boni" means "the cultivation of the good", perpetuates a wine-growing heritage with a deep respect for its environment. This historic estate, rooted in the rich Tuscan soil, is an example of balance between tradition and sustainable practices. The 2019 vintage of this Riserva is mainly made from Sangiovese, complemented by a selection of indigenous grape varieties such as Canaiolo Nero, Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Nera, Mammolo and Pugnitello, each contributing its nuance to the final complexity.
The vinification of this Chianti Classico Riserva follows traditional methods. After a rigorous selection of the best bunches, fermentation takes place in steel tanks, with indigenous yeasts and extended maceration. This process extracts color, aromas and tannins in a balanced way. The wine is then aged for at least 24 months in oak barrels of different sizes, then refined in the bottle, thus developing a complex aromatic profile and a harmonious structure. To the eye, it reveals an intense and deep ruby red color. On the nose, you will be charmed by a rich and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, spices, tobacco and balsamic nuances mingle, evolving towards touches of leather and chocolate. On the palate, this wine reveals remarkable concentration and depth, with velvety tannins and a freshness that perfectly balances its power, leading to a long and persistent finish.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is an ideal companion for the robust flavors of Tuscan and Mediterranean cuisine. I recommend it with grilled red meats, roasts or game. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses. Its complexity and elegance make it the perfect wine for special occasions or for a moment of meditation. Let yourself be carried away by the richness of this wine, a true tribute to the Tuscan art of living.
