Badia a Coltibuono

In Gaiole in Chianti, where the Stucchi Prinetti family has cultivated the land for generations, Badia a Coltibuono produces organic wines within a single, highly guaranteed denomination, Chianti Classico DOCG, made from Sangiovese and other permitted red grape varieties. The hallmark is one of long-term viticulture, measured by aging times rather than immediacy. Around the winery, a hospitality of rare breadth unfolds. Rooms are carved from ancient monastic cells, overlooking the Arno valley and an Italian garden, while the abbey restaurant hosts dinners and cooking classes. Tastings feature aged labels and organic extra virgin olive oils, and the estate serves as a base for exploring the artistic centers of central Tuscany. It's well worth taking the time to stay within the abbey walls, alternating between cellar visits, dining, and walks through the Chianti landscape.
