Coltibuonos Cetamura fällt zuerst mit seiner satten Rubintönung angenehm auf. Neben Aromen reifer Kirschen und Waldfrüchte zeigen sich Andeutungen von Gewürzen, der solide Geschmack ist köstlich und herzhaft. Ein schönes Trinkvergnügen für jeden Tag. SUPERIORE.DE

Intensiver Duft mit verheißungsvollen Noten von gelben Früchten und Blumen, etwas Feuerstein sowie Kräutern wie Kamille und Lorbeer. Frisch und geschmeidig am Gaumen mit guter Säure. Der Abgang endet mit Vermentino-typischen mineralischen Noten, dazu gesellen sich Aromen von Zitrusfrüchten und Banane. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very typical vermentino with sliced lemons and hints of celery. Green apples, too. Medium body, nice acidity and a minerally undertone." James Suckling

Feiner, schlanker und rassiger 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 crimson. Pretty nose of sour cherry with a hint of nutmeg. Lithe and almost ethereal on the palate. Tangy cherry fruit with sandpapery tannins with a touch of bitterness. Not hugely profound, all is set on elegance." Jancis Robinson

"A fresh, delicate Chianti Classico showing lots of typical character and brightness with orange-peel and bark undertones. Light to medium body, light tannins and a delicious, crisp finish." James Suckling

"The 2018 Chianti Classico is a very pretty, enticing wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry, pipe tobacco, cedar and mint all grace this exquisite, ethereal Chianti Classico from Coltibuono. All the elements simply fall into place effortlessly. Silky tannins round things out in style. This is such a beguiling Chianti Classico." Vinous

"Pale ruby in hue but vibrantly scented, this displays a floral perfume of rose, violet and yellow broom, mingling with raspberry. Very appetising and fresh, it has an overall lightness of structure, with fine, elegant, powdery tannins and acidity which is expansive rather than piercing. Despite a feeling of weightlessness, it is a lovely, persistent wine." Decanter

"Fresh and fragrant, this has vinous aromas of red berry, blue flower and dark culinary spice. The bright savory palate doles out crushed raspberry, red cherry and baking spice alongside vibrant acidity and taut polished tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Kräftiges Rubinrot, wie von einem guten traditionell und biologisch erzeugten Wein erwartet. Ein wunderbares, elegantes und intensives Duftspektrum zwischen Sauerkirsche und Muskatnuss. Am Gaumen schön ausgewogen und mit jeder Menge jugendlicher Frische im lang anhaltenden Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubinrot. Offenherzige und einladende Nase mit blumigen Aromen, satte Kirsche, Himbeere, getrocknetes Rosenblatt. Ausgewogener und saftiger Trunk, spannt sich schön über die Zunge, herzhaft und klar, tolle Riserva." Falstaff

"Lustrous mid ruby. Lifted cherry with minerally, saline notes and hints of crushed shells. Transparent, medium-bodied palate with fine yet gripping tannins. Fluid, sour-cherry fruit on the finish. Still embryonic, and with lots of potential." Jancis Robinson

"The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Badia a Coltibuono is a very pretty wine with lovely aromatic nuance and plenty of character to match its mid-weight personality. Crushed flowers, mint, lavender, spice and black cherry are all finely knit in this attractive, mid-weight Riserva. Fresh and energetic, the 2016 will drink nicely for many years to come." Vinous

"This is firmly placed in red-fruit territory with frozen strawberries, dried red cherries and fresh herbs. Round and juicy on the medium-to full-bodied palate and succulent on the finish." James Suckling

"Badia a Coltibuono traces its history back to the 11th century when Vallombrosian monks founded the abbey and started planting the area's first vineyards. The Stucchi Prinetti family who now own the property have bottles of Riserva dating back to 1937. Rounded out with a dollop of Canaiolo Nero, Ciliegiolo and Colorino, it is uncluttered by oak nuances. Accented by strawberry, juniper and tarragon, it glides smoothly across the palate with tame, chalky tannins and dusty black cherry on the finish. Accessible now, this has in bones to age gracefully over the next decade. I always appreciate the steadfast, recognisable personality of Coltibuono's elegant Riserva." Decanter

"Showing beautiful results in an excellent vintage, the 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is a graceful and elegantly tempered red wine. It makes good on all the basic promises of traditional Sangiovese: the complexity and elegance of the grape and that fresh acidity. It opens to a mid-weight style, making this a perfect wine for roast chicken and roast potatoes. Pretty mineral notes appear on the close, and the tannin is beautifully integrated." Robert Parker

Cultus Boni, eine Chianti Classico Riserva moderner Machart, ist eine dunkle und aufwändigere Interpretation aus der etwas kühleren und wilderen Gemeinde Gaiole in Chianti. erfreut mit seinem großzügigen mineral- und graphitgetönten Beerenbouquet, Tönen von Tabak und dunkler Würze und dem weichen, saftigen Geschmack. Die feinen Tannine und die gut proportionierte Säure verleihen ihm einen harmonischen Halt und eine unbestrittene Klasse. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dunkles Rubinrot. In der Nase mit mittlerer Ausdruckskraft, etwas Alkohol, im Nachhall edler Lederton. Am Gaumen geprägt von zupackendem Tannin, leicht scharf, sehr griffig in Ansatz und Verlauf." Falstaff

"An opulent and fresh red with cherries, orange peel and light walnuts. Cedar undertones. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fruity and lively finish. The fine tannins nicely frame this wine." James Suckling

"The Badia a Coltibuono 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Cultus Boni is an organic wine from one of the most consistent and productive estates in Gaiole in Chianti. The wine is grounded in fresh primary fruit with wild cherry, blackberry and some faint dustings of exotic spice, toasted nut, crushed stone and dried flowers. You also get hints of lavender, sage and dried mint. Cultus Boni is one of the most terroir-driven wines of this subzone (and the price point is excellent)." Robert Parker

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

"Glänzendes Rubin mit leichtem Granatschimmer. Klar und intensiv in der Nase, präsentiert sich mit ausgeprägten Kirschnoten, etwas Granatapfel. Viel saftige Kirschfrucht am Gaumen, öffnet sich mit herzhaftem, zupackendem Tannin, im hinteren Bereich satte Tiefe." Falstaff

"This is a very subtle Tuscan red with some reduction, but opening up (upon decanting) to red cherries, red plums, citrus and cedar. Medium-bodied and lightly woven, it appears quite savory and reserved, but also has some rather powerful tannins thrown in the mix. A quirky, traditional-style wine." James Suckling

"Made only in the best years, the 2015 Sangioveto sees longer skin-maceration times than others. This ultimately results in an ample and generous expression of this classic indigenous variety. The bouquet is not as pinpoint as the Chianti Classico Riserva from the 2016 vintage, yet that broad and rich quality is something we associate with this warm and sunny 2015 vintage. Here, you get sweeping aromas of black cherry, plum and mild spice, making it ideal for a pappardelle with a wild boar sauce." Robert Parker

Unter Verwendung der roten Rebsorte Sangiovese entsteht die rosé Variante des Vin Santo, der Occhio di Pernice (Auge des Rebhuhns). Faszinierendes Bouquet nach Rauch, Honig, Karamell und getrockneten Aprikosen. Am Gaumen exotisch, vollmundig mit einem wunderbaren Spannungsbogen zu Frische und lebhafter Säure. Sauberer, fast trockener Abgang mit einem rassigen Nachgeschmack von getrockneten Früchten und Gewürzen. Aufregend und anregend! SUPERIORE.DE

"Driven by honey and molasses, the Badia a Coltibuono 2007 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico Occhio di Pernice is a pure beauty. Made with organic fruit, this dessert wine opens to a dark copper color and beautifully intense aromas of dried fruit, fig, honey, brown sugar and maple syrup. There is a vein of heat and warmth there that underlines the sweetness and the ripeness of the fruit." Robert Parker
