Badia a Coltibuono

We are located in the heart of Chianti Classico, where Badia a Coltibuono stands, an oasis of history and tradition that has been dedicated to the production of typical wines for over a thousand years. A place where time seems to stand still and where the passion for winemaking is handed down from generation to generation. The history of Badia a Coltibuono began as far back as 1051, when some Vallombrosian monks founded an abbey in this evocative place. Already at that time, they began cultivating vines, giving rise to a tradition that would remain indissolubly linked to the history of this place. Over the centuries, the abbey became an important religious and economic centre, attracting pilgrims and visitors from all over Europe. In 1846, Badia a Coltibuono passed to the Giuntini family, whose descendants still run the estate today. Under their leadership, the abbey has been transformed into a modern farm, while preserving its historical charm. A fundamental role in this renewal process was played by Piero Stucchi Prinetti, who gave a decisive imprint to the company, steering it towards the production of high quality wines capable of conquering national and international markets.
