- This exquisite blend of nine indigenous Chianti varieties creates a richly concentrated and complex wine, revealing the luscious flavours of black fruits, herbal undertones, and a touch of peppery spice, all embraced by a velvety texture. This rare blend of nine indigenous varieties from Chianti results in a richly concentrated and complex wine with black fruits, balsamic nuances, and peppery spice.
The grapes were hand-harvested, and each variety was vinified separately. Fermentation occurred with wild yeasts at controlled temperatures below 28°C in 5- hectolitre open-top tonneaux. Extended maceration on the skins lasted 40 to 60 days with manual punch-downs to maximise the expression of complexity and balance. The wine was matured for 12 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, of which no more than 10% were new, followed by 6-8 months in cask after blending.
This rare and harmonious blend of nine indigenous varieties from Chianti results in a richly concentrated and complex wine with black fruits, herbal nuances and peppery spice, enveloped in a silky texture.

| Winery | Badia a Coltibuono has been studying and recovering the native, ancient varieties. Paying homage to traditional Chianti wines (which could include up to 100 varieties), this assemblage of nine traditional varieties in equal proportions is the antithesis of contemporary single-varietal wines. The vineyard is situated in Monti, Chianti at 250 to 330 meters elevation, where breezes help to ventilate the vines and keep them healthy. The limestone clay-rich soils retain water and minerals, nourishing the vines and producing elegant wines. The vines are planted with predominantly south and east-facing aspects to maximize exposure to the sun. This combination of soils and aspects in Monti are the essential factors that impart depth and elegance to the Montebello IGT wine. The vineyard has been organically cultivated since 1995 and certified since 2003. No herbicides or insecticides have been used since 1985, and in 2013, the estate was certified by Delinat. |
