The red wine Gran Selezione “Badia a Passignano” is a Chianti Classico that comes to life from the pure grapes of a great red grape variety, Sangiovese, which finds one of its ideal terroirs in Tuscany. The clusters, carefully selected during the harvest by the Antinori team, once they arrive at the winemaking facilities are destemmed and gently pressed. Then, alcoholic fermentation takes place, lasting about 10 days. Finally, after racking, the wine is placed in wood to undergo malolactic fermentation and, after the transfer, it proceeds with aging, carried out in Hungarian oak barriques for 12 months.

This “Badia a Passignano” is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione that presents itself with a red color, reminiscent of ruby tones. The bouquet of aromas that envelops the nose is interesting, composed mainly of hints of ripe fruit and sweet spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety, and enveloping, with a sip in perfect balance, also characterized by good persistence on the finish. A bottle with which Antinori confirms itself at excellent quality levels, as evidenced by the scores obtained not only in Italy but internationally!
