Badia a Coltibuono

The wine vinegar of Coltibuono is made from selected red wines and matures in small oak barrels, thus enhancing the wonderful vinous aroma. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense bouquet with promising notes of yellow fruits and flowers, some flint as well as herbs like camomile and laurel. Fresh and supple on the palate with good acidity. The finish ends with mineral notes typical of Vermentino, joined by aromas of citrus fruits and banana. SUPERIORE.DE

"A medium-bodied white with notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus and flowers. Polished and sleek with a round finish. Pleasant and easy to drink." James Suckling

The wines of La Badia have their clear style: Clean and traditionally vinified, they always give great pleasure. Intense ruby red, the bouquet with notes of forest fruits and spices, the full-bodied taste of the Roberto Stucchi is wonderfully smooth, the acidity well balanced and the finish clean and long-lasting.

"The 2020 Chianti Classico RS Cultusboni is a dense, powerful wine. Black cherry, cloves, scorched earth and licorice show the darker side of Sangiovese. There's good depth, even if at times the 2020 feels a bit heavy and monolithic." Vinous

This high-quality balsamic vinegar from Coltibuono bears the name of Lorenza de' Medici, the founder of the cooking courses at Coltibuono Abbey and author of numerous successful cookbooks. The basis of this aromatic food companion is Trebbiano and Lambrusco mosto cotto, which are carefully matured in small barrels made of oak, chestnut, mulberry, cherry and juniper. The result of this careful production is a powerful aroma with a mild, accessible taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine, lean and racy Chianti Classico from organic cultivation - and one of our special favourites for 20 years. Engaging aromatics, dense, firm body, deep and juicy, with well-defined tannins and a fresh and appetising finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Chianti Classico is accessible and easy-drinking with mild cherry and dried raspberry followed by almond, blue flower and peat moss. Winemaking is very simple, starting off with spontaneous yeast fermentation and brief aging in large oak casks. You get great value, especially in this classic vintage." Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Chianti Classico is great. Bright and vibrant, with plenty of Sangiovese character, the 2021 is everything a Chianti Classico should be. Bright red cherry fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and tobacco come through well in this juicy, wonderfully inviting Chianti Classico. The 2021 is one of the best editions of this wine I have tasted recently." Vinous

A small part of the olive groves around Podere Albereto is reserved exclusively for the production of this very special oil, which is bottled in very limited quantities (5,000 batches). The colour of Albereto's extra-virgin olive oil is an intense emerald green. It has an intense, herbaceous fragrance with notes of asparagus and aromatic herbs such as tarragon and sage. The taste is intense and strong, with a characteristic aftertaste reminiscent of the vegetables perceived by the nose. SUPERIORE.DE

olive varieties: Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino

Olio CampoCorto is the result of years of work and study. It is produced mainly from olives of the Frantoio variety, the most typical and characteristic variety of this region. The olive groves are located in the middle of the woods of Badia a Coltibuono in an unspoilt environment. Golden yellow colour with green reflections. It has an intense herbaceous aroma with notes of artichoke and aromatic herbs. The taste is full of character, intense and lively with a spicy aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

olive variety: >95% Frantoio

Strong ruby red, as expected from a good traditionally and organically produced wine. A wonderful, elegant and open-hearted aroma spectrum between sour cherry and nutmeg. Clear and savoury on the palate, beautifully balanced and with plenty of youthful freshness on the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Restrained nose with notes of herbs and red cherries. Mineral and streamlined on the palate with high acidity and some firm tannins." Decanter

"Red cherries, cranberries, slate, cloves, bay leaves and lemon peel on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and excellent freshness. Bright." James Suckling

"The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva is floral, ethereal and beautifully lifted. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers and leather give the 2018 a great aromatic presence. This medium-bodied Riserva drinks well now, but also has enough energy to develop positively in bottle for at least a handful of years." Vinous

Cultus is a modern style Chianti Classico Riserva and a dark, lavish interpretation of the terroir of the slightly cooler and wilder commune of Gaiole in Chianti. It delights with a generous mineral- and graphite-tinged berry bouquet, tones of tobacco, dark spice and the soft, juicy, primary fruit flavour. The fine tannins and well-proportioned acidity give this Riserva a harmonious grip and an undeniable class for this price. SUPERIORE.DE

Radiant ruby red, the wide spectrum of Sangiovese aromas ranges from sweet vanilla notes to hints of raspberries and blackberries. Dense and creamy-soft on the relaxed palate, offering a harmonious blend of tannin and alcohol with a precisely adjusted acidity level. Finishes with a long and impressive finish. SUPERIORE.DE
