Antinori Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Badia a Passignano 2022 is a refined expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most celebrated estates.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this is typically a deep ruby-red wine with bright garnet reflections, suggesting both vitality and structure. The nose is classically Tuscan, with aromas of ripe cherry, red berries, violets, dried herbs, and subtle spice, often joined by notes of tobacco, earth, and fine oak. On the palate, expect a focused and layered Sangiovese profile: juicy red fruit, lively acidity, firm but polished tannins, and a mineral-driven finish. Its balance and structure suggest excellent aging potential, with the wine likely to gain complexity over the next decade or more.

Production
Badia a Passignano is one of the most esteemed sites in Chianti Classico, with vineyards shaped by the rolling Tuscan hills and the region’s mix of clay, limestone, and stony soils. The 2022 vintage is made from Sangiovese, traditionally harvested by hand to preserve fruit quality and selection. Vinification is carried out to emphasize purity and finesse, followed by maturation that supports structure and aromatic depth without overpowering the grape’s natural character.

Food & Serving

It also works beautifully with mushroom-based pastas and herb-roasted poultry. Best served at 16–18°C; decanting for about 30–60 minutes is recommended, especially if enjoyed young.
