About the Wine

The estate Chianti Classico is central in representing Badia a Coltibuono's vision and relationship with

its place and its history. Using the traditional blend of Sangiovese and complementary varieties, as well

as propagating vines the traditional way - by massal selection - has always been the backbone of the

wine. Modern techniques such as vinification by gravity are used to bring forth the best expression of

the fruit, but traditional approaches, from indigenous yeast fermentation to aging in oak casks rather

than barriques, are central to the authenticity of the wine. The winery's long-established organic

practices are also fundamental in the development of the truly unique character of the grapes.

Blend: 90% Sangiovese; 10% Colorino, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo
