History Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione is produced from a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes from the estate of the same name located in the heart of Chianti Classico. The area has been renowned for wine production since the year 1000. The vineyards extend over limestone-rich soil with an average clay content at an altitude of approximately 300 metres above sea level. Ageing takes place in the historic cellars of the 10th-century Badia di Passignano.
Origin Selected grapes from the vineyards surrounding Badia di Passignano, town of Tavernelle Val di Pesa (Florence) in the DOCG Chianti Classico region.
Climate Altitude: 45-60 m. a.s.l.
Soil composition Rocky, slightly limestone soil.
Vinification After destemming, the grapes were carefully selected and then softly pressed. Alcoholic fermentation took about 10 days, after which the must macerated with its skins for a further 10-12 days.
Ageing After racking, and once malolactic fermentation was complete, the wine began its period of ageing in Hungarian and partly French oak barrels for several months. During this phase, the wine was constantly tasted in order to maximise its evolution in wood. Badia a Passignano was bottled on the estate and then rested in the bottle before release.
Allergens Contains sulphites
Pairing It pairs well with first courses with sauce, red and white meats, and aged cheeses. It is an ideal wine to be enjoyed by itself.
