The Badia a Coltibuono Riserva, our most classic wine, is made exclusively from autoctonous grapes. It is loved by wine aficionados worldwide and is considered to be a true emblem of the Chianti territory. As a testimony to its long history and traditions, the estate is the proud possessor of a unique patrimony of old Riserva wines which date back as far as 1937.

Vintage notes

Growing Season 2017: after an exceptionally dry winter and a spring frost that fortunately affected us only marginally, the summer was one of the hottest and driest on record. Due to the extreme drought there was a significant amount of grapes lost to the wild animals, deer and wild boar. The result was a small harvest, but of great quality thanks to the many years of organic soil management using compost and cover-crop that over time increase the amount of organic substance and the drought resistance of the vines.

Harvest period: 18th September – 27th October

Tasting Notes

Intense, deep ruby red color with subtle glimmers of garnet. The wine shows a splendid, full nose with hints of blackberries and pleasant notes of tobacco and spice. In the mouth, the wine is soft with an elegant, fresh finish and a persistent, generous acidity in the aftertaste. Full of mature tannins and fruitiness.
