Vin Santo del Chianti Classico

All the elegance of a pure Sangioveto. An original taste in a classic structure.

Cultus was conceived as an evolution of Chianti Classico Riserva, the result of a journey that began years ago and has matured through experience and adaptation. It is a wine that responds to the challenges of climate change with rigor, careful selection, and a more focused use of historic indigenous varieties that, in Chianti, have always accompanied Sangiovese. The grapes come from selected parcels in the historic vineyards of Monti, where Sangiovese finds ideal conditions of exposure, altitude, and soil composition.

Guided tour of the former abbey, its renaissance gardens, frescoed salons, cloister and historical ageing cellars. Then, tasting of four wines of Badia a Coltibuono with some homemade “schiacciata”.

Duration 1,5 hour

Nine grape varieties for a unique wine. Captivating from the first nose, a wine of great character, everchanging at every sip. For the rarest occasions.

Balance and freshness, the archetypal Chianti Classico. A strong and gentle personality, a hallmark of Sangiovese and its pleasantness.
