Product Notes

Badia a Coltibuono Sangioveto Toscana is a rich and complex Italian wine produced from the Sangiovese grape, which is believed to have originated in Tuscany. This wine has a deep ruby-red colour and a bouquet of red and dark berries, flowers, and spices. Its taste is full-bodied, velvety and well-balanced, with flavours of black cherry, plum, leather, and tobacco.
The grapes for this wine are carefully selected from the best vineyards of Tuscany and handpicked at the optimal ripeness. After the fermentation process, the wine is aged for a minimum of two years in oak barrels, which adds a subtle vanilla and toasty flavour to the wine. Badia a Coltibuono Sangioveto Toscana can be enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes like pasta and meat. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for an authentic Italian expression.

Tasting Notes

A warm, savoury and concentrated wine offering an array of fragrant aromas of red fruits, balsamic notes, floral, toasty spice, vanilla and cloves all unfolding into the palate. Great structure is supported by balanced acidity and supple tannins through to an everlasting finish.

About the Winery

Badia a Coltibuono

The story and history of Badia a Coltibuono remains closely linked with the Stucchi Prinetti family. The winery has remained under the ownership and supervision of the winery since 1846. The Stucchi Prinetti has contributed to Badia a Coltibuono for over six generations with immense respect and passion, increasing the winery’s legacy and fame. 
In 1846, Michele Giuntini purchased the land on which Badia a Coltibuono stands today. Under her guidance, the property kept flourishing until it went under the ownership of Maria Luisa Giuntini in the late 1930s. She transformed and managed the land significantly, increasing its value. In the late 1950s, Maria handed the estate over to Piero Stucchi Prinetti, her son. Since then, the property has remained with the Stucchi Prinetti family.

After receiving the property from his mother, Piero began vine-growing and wine-making on the land. He started bottling superior vintages from the Chianti Classico Riserva present on the estate. The wines soon became famous on international and domestic markets, raising the fame and name of Badia a Coltibuono. Today, Piero’s sons, Roberto and Paolo Stucchi Prinetti, own the winery. They operate and handle the wine estate while respecting and maintaining their family legacy and traditions. Nevertheless, they have also incorporated modern touches to optimise the wine-making process and develop excellent wines that can touch the heart and souls of numerous people.

Badia a Coltibuono pays careful attention to its terroirs and vineyards. The winery ensures that its grapevines get planted, groomed, cultivated, and harvested with utmost care. It does so because it believes that the land’s quality gets represented in the wine, giving the latter its excellent flavours. Thus, Badia a Coltibuono works and operates on the principles and morals of preservation, interaction, and respect. It allows the winery to produce wines having superior standards.
