Badia a Coltibuono, nestled in Tuscany, boasts almost a thousand years of winemaking history. Originally an abbey founded in 1051, it transitioned into a renowned winery after World War II. Today, led by the Stucchi Prinetti family's fifth generation, the estate spans 150 acres of vineyards, primarily cultivating Sangiovese alongside traditional varieties. With a commitment to sustainability and minimal intervention winemaking, Badia a Coltibuono produces a diverse range of wines, from classic Chianti Classico to innovative blends. Beyond winemaking, the estate offers a serene retreat, featuring an abbey, gardens, a restaurant, and a cooking school. Discover the timeless allure of Tuscan winemaking at Badia a Coltibuono.
