The story: There are few other wineries anywhere that have such an aura of vinicultural history as that of Badia a Coltibuono. In Europe, it is not  difficult to find wineries that have origins dating back one, two, three, even five centuries, but Badia a Coltibuono has been watching over winemaking for almost a thousand years—and the building was constructed long after wine was first made on the property. Grapeseeds and amphorae from the first century A.D. Roman period—evidence of wine production—have been found at an archaeological dig on the property, and even earlier ruins from the wine-savvy Etruscan culture are present as well.

Today, the Badia a Coltibuono estate in the Chianti Classico commune of Gaiole in Chianti is led by the fifth generation of family members: Emanuela, Paolo, and Roberto Stucchi Prinetti. There are 150 acres of vineyards on the property, along with another 50 acres of olive trees.

Why You'll Love Me: Thanks to fermentation in stainless steel, this Sangiovese is ready to defy expectations! A bright and savory red wine, it offers sensations of juicy red cherry, white pepper and violet. Fresh and vibrant, it has lithe tannins and is made to be enjoyed young -- order your case today!
