Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Badia a Coltibuono, or "The Abbey of good harvest," lies in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, between Florence and Siena. The Abbey is approximately 2000 years old. Blend of 90% Sangiovese; 10% Colorino, Canaiolo, & Ciliegiolo. Deep Ruby color, aromas of black fruit and earthy spice nose. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with savory tannins, good balance, black pepper and cacao notes. Medium+ finish ending with earthy mineral notes. Good now. — 10 days ago

My kind of super Tuscan- all native varietals. Natural blackberries & raspberries with both heft & balanced tartness on palate. Fine, grainy tannins. Impressive. — 3 years ago

Peppery and medium bodied. A lush taste without being being sweet. A lot of cherries and then blackberries, to finish a bit tart. — 3 years ago
