Chianti Classico Gran Selezione "Badia a Passignano"
Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione is produced exclusively from the finest Sangiovese grapes harvested from its namesake vineyard located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The region has been respected and appreciated for its outstanding wine production for over 1000 years. The vineyards grow at an altitude of approximately 300 meters above sea level on soils rich in limestone with a fair amount of clay. The wine is aged in the historic cellars under the Badia (abbey) of Passignano that dates back to the 10th century. The wine is a deep ruby red in colour. The nose presents notes of black cherries, dog rose, delicate hints of milk chocolate and cocoa. The bouquet is completed by floral aromas of lavender, irises and sweet notes of vanilla. The palate is lively, vibrant, lean and defined by a long, savory finish.

Antinori have a long and established history of tradition and innovation, as well as supreme quality, and is among the world’s most respected producers.
