Badia a Coltibuono's 2024 Chianti Classico comes from the heart of the Gaiole in Chianti and Castelnuovo Berardenga area, based on 90% Sangiovese with small proportions of traditional local varieties. It is an organic red built around freshness and balance, with a classic profile and a clear affinity with food.

A measured, precise Chianti Classico

The vineyards grow on medium-textured calcareous clay soils. Fermentation takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, with around three weeks of skin maceration, punch-downs and délestage. The wine then ages for about 12 months in large French and Austrian oak casks of 15-25 hl, followed by a short period in bottle.

Profile and serving

Bright ruby in colour, it offers aromas of iris, violet, morello cherry, tobacco and black pepper. The palate is fresh, savoury and persistent, with lively acidity and well-balanced tannins. Serve at 16-18 °C; it pairs naturally with pasta dishes, meats and cheeses.

An already recognised vintage

The 2024 vintage received 92/100 from Decanter, a score that fits a style focused on harmony and drinkability rather than sheer power.
