Dec 9th, 2017Badia 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 two thousand years old. Crimson red with aromas of black fruit and spice. On the palate blackberry, strawberry and cherry flavors, pepper spice with dusty tannins, good balance with acidity. Medium finish ending with earthy mineral tones.

Sep 28th, 2017Beautiful wine here. I don't know much about Italian wines, but this makes me want to learn more. Delicious cherry and red berries on the nose and very tart fruit on the palate.
