Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Riserva

The Badia a Passignano is one of the most historically significant sites in Chianti Classico: the over 1000-year-old monastery estate is located above Sambuca Val di Pesa, just three kilometers from the Tignanello estate. On calcareous soil between 250 and 300 meters above sea level, pure Sangiovese grows here, whose origins have been documented in Florentine state archives for centuries.

Antinori produces this Riserva only in the best vintages from the estate's selected grapes. Aging: 14 months in barriques, then 12 months of bottle aging. Deep ruby red in the glass. Red fruit, raspberry, blueberry, and ripe cherry on the nose, a hint of licorice in the finish. Velvety, ripe tannins on the palate, clear length, and an invigorating acidity — classic structure with modern accessibility. Parker awarded 94 points, Suckling 96 for the 2016 vintage.

Recommendation: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised leg of lamb, or aged Pecorino Toscano.

The Winery

Antinori

Marchesi Antinori from Florence is one of the oldest and most significant wineries in the world: Since 1385, the family has been continuously cultivating wine and still manages the company in its own hands today.

In 1971, together with oenologist Giacomo Tachis, Piero Antinori laid the foundation for a revolution when he created the Tignanello, the first Super Tuscan – a Sangiovese-Cabernet blend aged in barriques that permanently changed the wine world.

Today, Piero's daughters Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia steer the company, which owns around 1,200 hectares of vineyards in Tuscany, Umbria, Piedmont, Apulia, and California. Tradition and a bold spirit of innovation are not opposites at Antinori, but the foundation of every single bottle.
