キャンティ・クラシコ
Chianti Classico
RedSangiovese · Canaiolo · Ciliegiolo · Colorino
The estate's entry-level Chianti Classico DOCG, organically farmed and predominantly Sangiovese with traditional complementary varieties Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged roughly 12 months in oak, it offers bright red cherry fruit, dried herbs and refined tannins — an accessible, food-friendly introduction to the estate's terroir-driven style.
クルトゥス・ボニ
Cultus Boni
RedSangiovese · Ciliegiolo · Colorino · Canaiolo · Mammolo · Foglia Tonda · Malvasia Nera · Sanforte · Pugnitello
Badia a Coltibuono's modern-style Chianti Classico Riserva, first produced in 2001. 'Cultus Boni' ('the cultivation of the good') is roughly 80% Sangiovese blended with eight historic complementary Tuscan varieties, aged in barriques for a richer, more concentrated profile than the estate's traditional bottlings — deep dark fruit, spice, tobacco and velvety tannins.
クルトゥスボニ RS
Cultusboni RS
RedSangiovese
A pure, 100% Sangiovese Chianti Classico DOCG sourced from the estate's best plots. Unlike the barrique-aged Cultus Boni Riserva, 'RS' sees very little oak, favoring freshness and fruit purity over extraction — a lighter, more approachable, food-friendly expression of estate Sangiovese with soft tannins and vibrant acidity.
サンジョヴェート
Sangioveto
RedSangiovese
Badia a Coltibuono's flagship Toscana IGT, first produced in 1980 when Chianti Classico regulations did not permit a 100% Sangiovese wine. Sourced from a massal selection of 600 old mother vines on the estate, it undergoes 4-5 weeks of skin maceration and 12-16 months of aging in French oak barriques, yielding a powerful, structured wine with great aging potential that has repeatedly won Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri award.
