Wine has been made here since 1051 – first by monks, and since 1846 by the Stucchi Prinetti family, now in its seventh generation. Badia a Coltibuono, the "Abbey of the Good Harvest", was the first leading winery in Chianti to switch completely to organic cultivation. The Riserva comes from massalselection of Sangiovese and historical complementary varieties such as Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo, grown on the highest hills near Gaiole. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, three weeks of maceration, then 24 months in French and Austrian oak barrels. The 2021 vintage benefited from a cool year with late frost – lower yields, but concentrated quality.

Deep ruby red in the glass with garnet reflections, ripe red fruit, herbs and floral notes on the nose. Smooth yet firm on the palate, with lively acidity and a fine tannin structure. A Chianti Classico that combines tradition and precision – grown where viticulture is almost as old as the abbey itself. SUPERIORE.DE
