Badia a Coltibuono

Die Weine von La Badia haben ihre klare Stilistik - sauber und traditionell vinifiziert bereiten sie immer wieder großes Vergnügen. Intensiv Rubinrot, das Bouquet mit Noten von Waldfrüchten und Gewürzen, der vollmundige Geschmack des Roberto Stucchi ist wunderbar geschmeidig, die Säure gut ausgewogen und der Nachhall sauber und lang anhaltend.

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit aufhellendem Granatrand. Fein gezeichnete, ansprechende Nase, zeigt Noten nach Preiselbeere und Brombeere. Saftig und rund am Gaumen, feinmaschiges, gut eingebundenes Tannin, ansprechende Kirschfrucht, macht Spaß!" Falstaff

"This delicious, easygoing red boasts typical Sangiovese aromas of wild berry, crushed violet and a whiff dark spice. The juicy, enjoyable palate doles out succulent Marasca cherry, fleshy plum and cake spice while supple tannins provide smooth support." Wine Enthusiast

"This is more about finesse than richness or power, revealing cherry and strawberry flavors accented by iron, earth and tobacco notes. The vibrant acidity and dusty tannins will serve this well over time." Wine Spectator

"A clean red that shows cherries, white chocolate and hints of lemons. Light body, ripe tannins and a medium finish." James Suckling

Feiner, schlanker Chianti Classico aus biologischem Anbau - und seit über 15 Jahren einer unserer besonderen Lieblinge. Einnehmende Aromatik, dichter, fester Körper, tiefgründig und saftig, mit gut definiertem Tannin und frischem und appetitlichem Nachspiel. (superiore.de)

"Just mid ruby. Sweet and a little savoury and backward on the nose, with minerally notes. Elegant, yet firm, and gorgeous fresh acidity. Long and savoury and minerally and with very sleek fruit." Jancis Robinson

Cultus Boni, eine Chianti Classico Riserva moderner Machart, erfreut mit seinem großzügigen mineral- und graphitgetönten Beerenbouquet und dem weichen, saftigen Geschmack. Die feinen Tannine und die gut proportionierte Säure verleihen ihm einen harmonischen Halt. (superiore.de)

"The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Cultus Boni is a dark and more elaborate interpretation made in the slightly cooler and wilder comune of Gaiole in Chianti. This wine reveals savory tones of tobacco and dark spice with flinty and ashy aromas as well. It presents a sound and solid quality of fruit with dark overtones of meaty cherry and plum." Robert Parker

"A silky and delicious red with plum, chocolate, meat and cherry undertones. Full body, chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows pretty structure for aging." James Suckling

Aus der Gemeinde Gaiole in Chianti kommt Cultus Boni, eine dunkle und aufwendige Interpretation der Chianti Classico Riserva. Aromen von Tabak und kräftigen Gewürznoten prägen das charaktervolle Bouquet, am Gaumen kraftvoll, präsent und einnehmend. (superiore.de)

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit leicht hellem Rand. Intensive und frische Nase, viel präsente Frucht, nach Kirschen und Himbeeren. Am Gaumen warm und geschmeidig, zeigt viel saftige Frucht, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem Tannin, im Finale schöner Schmelz." Falstaff

"Aromas and flavors of dried fruit and cedar with hints of nuts and plums. Full-bodied, savory and flavorful. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Cultus Boni is rich, deep and resonant in the glass, with lovely textural breadth and terrific balance. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and tobacco meld into the expressive, pliant finish. This gorgeous, open-knit 2011 should continue to drink well for the better part of the next decade." Antonio Galloni

Strahlendes Rubinrot, das weite Duftspektrum des Sangiovese reicht von lieblichen Vanillenoten bis zu Anklängen an Himbeeren und Brombeeren. Dicht und cremig-weich der entspannte Geschmack, offeriert eine harmonische Melange aus Tannin und Alkohol mit einem präzise justierten Säurepegel. Klingt nachhaltig aus. (superiore.de)

"The 2011 Sangioveto di Toscana wraps around the palate with striking depth and texture. Bold and racy to the core, the 2011 is a great example of the fleshy, open-knit wines that are typical of the vintage. At the same time, the 2011 has more than enough freshness to drink well for a number of years. This is a gorgeous showing from Badia a Coltibuono." Antonio Galloni

"Ample cherry and strawberry flavors are matched by savory elements of wild herbs, leather and tobacco in this firmly structured red. Still firm, but has all the components." Wine Spectator

"Big and bold, this opens with aromas of baked plum, blue flowers and sweet baking spice. The robust, chewy palate doles out fleshy black cherry, espresso, clove and licorice alongside the warmth of evident alcohol. Solid but velvety tannins support the ripe fruit flavors." Wine Enthusiast

"Very ripe and rich with a rustic undertone of raisins, but this shows plenty of delicious fruit. Loads of plum pie, light cedar and a long and flavorful finish." James Suckling

Unter Verwendung der roten Rebsorte Sangiovese entsteht die rosé Variante des Vin Santo, der Occhio di Pernice (Auge des Rebhuhns). Schöne Anklänge an getrocknetes Obst, Tabak, sehr feine Süße, großes Potenzial! (superiore.de)

"The 2004 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico Occhio di Pernice emerges from the glass with an intriguing array of smoke, licorice, honey, scorched earth and tar, all of which add considerable complexity to the fruit. This is an exotic, full-throttle style of Vin Santo, but there is more than enough freshness to balance some of the wine’s more opulent leanings. From time to time the volatile acidity (always present in sweet wines) sticks out a bit, which is the only thing that keeps the score from going higher." Robert Parker

"A refined style, silky in texture and complex in flavor, with honey, caramel, fig paste, dried apricot, tobacco and clove notes boosted by vivid acidity. This cascades to a long aftertaste of dried fruit and spice. Very pure and harmonious." Wine Spectator

"Clear orangey/tawny. Nutty, rancio, complex nose with real energy and vitality. Lovely balance even though it is not that sweet. Just medium sweet but with great tangy edge of rancio. This would make a superbly energising end to a meal. Very clean and almost dry on the finish. Racy and rich. Long and almondy and vibrant and really exciting. Bracing." Jancis Robinson
