From the historic Badia a Coltibuono estate in Gaiole in Chianti, this Chianti Classico Riserva represents nearly a millennium of winemaking tradition dating back to 1051. Crafted by the fifth generation Stucchi Prinetti family from their 150 acres of vineyards, this premium Riserva showcases the exceptional terroir of the Chianti Classico DOCG zone. The wine displays elegant complexity with notes of dark cherry, leather, and spice, embodying the estate's philosophy of traditional Tuscan winemaking combined with modern precision.

Winemaking: Indigenous yeast fermentation with gravity-fed vinification using traditional approaches refined over centuries
Aging: Matured in a combination of oak casks and barriques to develop complexity while preserving varietal character

Wine Critic Reviews

Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com (93): Citrusy and biting, it shows notes of wisteria, hawthorn, magnolia, gardenia, and jasmine. Lots of mandarin peel describe the secondary scene. Medium-full body, soft tannins, and a clear, limpid, and essential finish. Better from 2025.
