Descrizione

The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG - Cultus Boni - Badia a Coltibuono represents one of the highest and most refined expressions of the historic Badia a Coltibuono estate, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, in Tuscany. This wine stands out not only for its exceptional quality, but also for the philosophical approach that underlies its production, reflecting a profound respect for tradition and the environment.

"Cultus Boni", which translates as "the cultivation of the good", embodies Badia a Coltibuono's commitment to creating wines that are both a celebration of Tuscan winemaking heritage and an expression of the best sustainable and organic practices . The Cultus Boni Riserva is made mainly with Sangiovese grapes, enriched by a selection of other native varieties, following a winemaking process that aims to enhance the purity of the fruit and the typicality of the terroir.

After a scrupulous selection of the best grapes, the winemaking takes place using traditional methods, which favor the use of indigenous yeasts and prolonged maceration to extract colour, aromas and tannins in a balanced way. The wine is aged for at least 24 months in oak barrels of various sizes, followed by further refinement in the bottle, which helps to develop a complex aromatic profile and a harmonious structure.

At sight, the Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG - Cultus Boni has an intense and deep ruby red color. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and complex, with notes of ripe red fruits, spices, tobacco and balsamic nuances, together with touches of leather and chocolate that develop with the evolution of the wine. In the mouth, Cultus Boni demonstrates extraordinary concentration and depth, with velvety tannins and a freshness that perfectly balances the power of the wine, leading to a long and persistent finish.

This wine is ideal in combination with Tuscan and Mediterranean cuisine, such as grilled red meats, roasts, game and mature cheeses. Its complexity and elegance also make it perfect for special occasions or as a meditation wine.

Winery history

The estate is the former Abbey of San Lorenzo a Coltibuono, whose documented origins date back to the 11th century. Over the centuries the property has maintained its connection to local viticulture; in the twentieth century family management helped consolidate the production of wine and olive oil and opened the Abbey to hospitality and the promotion of Tuscan cuisine.

Production philosophy

It practices organic farming with attention to biodiversity, the soil and workers' health. The wine is conceived as the fruit of vineyard work. In the winery, techniques that respect the integrity of the grapes are favored, such as fermentation with indigenous yeasts and the use of gravity-flow winemaking principles.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the Monti in Chianti area on clay-limestone soils. The vineyards mentioned in the product sheets include crus and parcels such as Montebello, Poggino, Vignone and Argenina; the estate overlooks the Arno valley and includes estate-owned olive groves and woodlands.
