WINE DESCRIPTION

Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Tuscan winery, Badia a Coltibuono. This wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Chianti Classico appellation, known for its ideal vineyard features such as high altitude, well-draining soils, and a warm, dry climate. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as hand-harvesting, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in oak barrels for at least two years. The resulting wine is a classic Chianti with a deep ruby color, aromas of red fruit and spice, and a full-bodied, complex flavor profile with firm tannins and a long finish. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
