Torre a Cona Chianti Colli Fiorentini Badia a Corte Riserva

An Award-Winning Florentine Single-Vineyard Cru

Immerse yourself in the historic elegance of the Florentine countryside with Torre a Cona Badia a Corte Chianti Colli Fiorentini Riserva. Hailing from a magnificent 18th-century Renaissance estate located just ten kilometers southeast of Florence, this highly prestigious single-vineyard Cru rivals the finest bottles of neighboring Chianti Classico. Universally recognized as one of the ultimate expressions of the boutique Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG, "Badia a Corte" routinely captures the coveted Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award from Gambero Rosso for its outstanding refinement and authentic character.

Crafted from 100% estate-grown Sangiovese grapes, the fruit is meticulously hand-harvested from a historic, 3.5-hectare south-east facing parcel sitting at 350 meters above sea level. The vines thrive in Alberese soil—a unique clay-loam rich in limestone and gravelly stones—which infuses the fruit with remarkable structural depth. Following a long 20-day skin maceration, the wine is aged for 24 months in large, neutral 25HL Slavonian oak casks, ensuring a beautifully rounded texture that honors pure varietal fruit without any masking oak flavors.

Taste Profile & Pairings

• The Profile: Radiant ruby red in the glass with subtle garnet flecks. It features a medium-to-full body, a fresh and precise structural backbone, and exceptionally elegant, fine-grained tannins.

• Flavor Highlights: A highly fragrant bouquet rich in sour cherries, fresh raspberries, and wild forest berries, seamlessly layered with floral hints of violet, rosehip, licorice, undergrowth, and a distinct touch of blood orange peel.

• Perfect Food Pairings: This highly gastronomic Tuscan red is built for classic Italian dining. It is a legendary match for an authentic Florentine steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina), slow-cooked beef brisket, roasted lamb chops with rosemary, duck breast, or rich truffle-infused wild mushroom risottos.

• Serving Suggestion: Serve at a cool room temperature ($61^\circ\text{F}$ or $16^\circ\text{C}$). Because this is a serious, highly structured Riserva built to cellar for a decade, giving the bottle a patient 45-to-60-minute decant will beautifully unleash its complex earthy and floral aromas.
