The Antinori family is undoubtedly one of the oldest in the history of Italian wine. The winemaking tradition of this family dates back to the Middle Age, in Tuscany, and the descendants have always personally carried out the activity with investments, buying properties in Tuscany, Umbria and then throughout Italy. An important commercial and promotional operation and a series of important choices in the vineyard and in the cellar, with the aim of establishing the family in the panorama of high quality wine in Italy and in the world.
The Abbey of Passignano was already known for its wines in the Middle Age, in particular for the production of Sangiovese, so much so that in 1983 a thousand-year-old vine was found on the estate’s lands. The Antinori family acquired the property in 1987 and began the production of Chianti Classico DOCG. The 65 hectares of vineyards extend on soil rich in limestone, at an altitude of 250-300 meters above sea level.
Badia a Passignano Gran Selezione comes from carefully selected grapes. It is a Chianti Classico produced with 100% Sangiovese, respecting the tradition of the estate.
The 2016 vintage was certainly a fortunate one for the Chianti Classico area, allowing ripe fruit, without water stress, for a perfect expression of this wine, considered by many to be one of the best expressions of this label so far.
