Antinori Badia a Passignano DOCG 75cl 2021 wine

An intense ruby ​​red with pronounced garnet highlights, the nose opens with typical notes of jammy berries, expertly blended with spicy and tertiary oak tones, all enhanced by deep balsamic and graphite notes. The palate is rich and sumptuous, vibrantly fresh and velvety in tannins, displaying remarkable aromatic persistence, perfectly in line with the nose, especially the fruity notes.

Badia a Passignano is located above Sambuca Val di Pesa, 3 km south of Tenuta Tignanello; its 223 hectares, 65 of which are vineyards, extend across calcareous soil, reaching an altitude of 250 to 300 meters in one of the most beautiful and ideal areas of Chianti Classico. Its fundamental importance in the history of Chianti is documented in hundreds of volumes, now held in the State Archives of Florence, which document the area's Sangiovese vineyards and crops. Confirming this, in 1983, a thousand-year-old vitis vinifera plant was discovered in the land surrounding Badia a Passignano.
