Badia a Corte

Chianti Colli Fiorentini Riserva D.O.C.G

Produced exclusively with Sangiovese grapes from our Badia a Corte vineyard at an average altitude of 350 metres above sea level. This wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months and in the bottle for at least another 12 months. The result is an elegant wine, deep ruby red in colour, with notes of understorey and a full, fruity flavour with silky tannins and a finish with a pleasant freshness.
