Badiòla is a single-vineyard Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from the Radda in Chianti UGA, sourced from the estate's highest-altitude plot (around 570 meters) near a small Romanesque parish for which the wine is named. Made entirely from Sangiovese, the cool, high-altitude site and rocky galestro soils give the wine exceptional freshness, vibrant acidity, and mineral complexity.
Badiòla's altitude gives it a crystalline acidity that few Chianti Classicos can match — this is high-altitude Sangiovese at its most precise.
New to wine?

When to drink it
Formal dinners, milestone celebrations, or a serious wine tasting experience.
