About this wine
Badia a Passignano represents the pinnacle of Chianti Classico DOCG production under the stewardship of Marchesi Antinori, one of Italy's most respected wine dynasties. This Gran Selezione red wine is crafted from Sangiovese, the noble grape varietal that defines the region's character. The estate's historic monastery vineyards benefit from the rolling Tuscan landscape, where altitude and soil composition create ideal conditions for producing elegant, age-worthy wines with remarkable structure and balance.
This Sangiovese-based red exemplifies the Chianti Classico style: refined acidity, firm tannins, and a distinctive mineral quality that reflects its terroir. At 13.5% ABV, it achieves the perfect equilibrium between power and elegance, making it a sophisticated choice for discerning collectors and fine dining establishments. The wine's versatility at the table, from beef carpaccio and aged cured meats to robust pasta dishes and tomato-based preparations, positions it as an essential addition to any refined cellar. Marchesi Antinori's commitment to sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking ensures consistency and authenticity in every bottle.
