Torre A Cona Badia a Corte Chianti 2023

Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): 100% Sangiovese

Localization: Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy

Tasting Notes: Badia a Corte” is a single vineyard, 100% Sangiovese that expresses all the signature traits of a classic Chianti: notes of violets and ripe Morello cherry are seamlessly melded with hints of tobacco leaf and eucalyptus. The powerful yet poised body is supported by fine tannins and ripe berry fruits' clean, precise finish.

Notes: 100% Sangiovese hand-harvested from the “Badia a Corte” vineyard, on the typical Alberese limestone soils. The grapes are fermented at controlled temperature in stainless steel vats with a selection of native yeasts, with 15 days of maceration with the skins. The wine is aged in large 25HL Slavonian oak casks for 24 months and for 6 months in a bottle before release.

Food pairing: We recommend a classic pairing with a grilled porterhouse steak, or with braised beef or roasted lamb. Will work equally well with aged Tuscan Pecorino cheese.
