Antinori Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione | 2022 | 750ml

About This Wine

Badia a Passignano is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, the appellation's top tier, made from Sangiovese grown on the estate around the Abbey of Passignano in the San Donato in Poggio area. The wine ages in the historic cellars beneath the abbey, which dates to the 10th century. The Antinori family's ties to the abbey go back to 1179, and they bought the estate in 1987.

The Antinori family has made wine in Tuscany since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine vintners' guild.

Serving

Serve with grilled meats, pappardelle with meat ragù or mature cheeses.
