Badia a Coltibuono Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 0.375L 2018

Badia a Coltibuono Vin Santo del Chianti Classico Occhio di Pernice 2018 is a rich, sweet red dessert wine made from Sangiovese, with the grape’s character expressed through long, patient maturation. It comes from a historic Tuscan estate whose roots reach back to a monastery founded in 1057.

Tasting Notes
Its pale amber colour is touched with warm golden hues. The complex, inviting aromas bring dried orange and chestnut honey, followed by delicate notes of cinnamon, saffron and thyme as the wine opens in the glass. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, balanced by lively freshness and a subtly saline, almost iodine-like nuance. The finish is long and harmonious. Its eight years of maturation add depth and polish; no specific further cellaring window is provided.

Production
The Sangiovese comes from organically farmed vineyards in Monti in Chianti, within the Chianti Classico area, at 260–370 metres above sea level. South- and southwest-facing slopes and stony, medium-textured soils help shape the wine’s freshness and distinctive character. Carefully selected grapes are slowly dried in well-ventilated rooms before fermentation in small, sealed oak casks. The casks mature for eight years in rooms exposed to seasonal temperature changes, encouraging gradual development and oxidative complexity.

Food & Serving
Serve at 14–16°C alongside traditional Tuscan desserts or mature cheeses. Its sweetness and freshness also make it a natural match for dried fruit and nut-based treats. Extended decanting is not necessary; give it a little time in the glass to reveal its layered aromas.
