Climate
The 2019 season in Chianti Classico was characterized by regular weather conditions, with a rather cold winter with little precipitation, and a cool and rainy early spring, especially in April and May. The summer was warm, with no temperature extremes, and characterized by slightly above-average rainfall that allowed the plants proper growth of both vegetation and clusters. Beginning in late August and throughout September and October, optimal weather, characterized by warm, sunny days and cool nights, allowed the grapes to ripen perfectly. Harvesting began from the second decade of September and was completed in early October.
Vinification
After destemming, the grapes were carefully sorted and then softly pressed. Alcoholic fermentation took about 10 days, following which the must macerated with its skins for an additional 10-12 days. After racking, and once malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine began its aging period in Hungarian and partly French oak barrels for several months. During this phase it was constantly tasted so that the evolution in wood could be maximized. Badia a Passignano was bottled on the estate and then rested in the bottle before its release.

Intense notes of ripe red fruit, cherries in spirit and black cherry stand out on the nose, combined with citrus sensations of blood orange and delicate floral hints of lavender; sweet nuances of vanilla and pleasant spicy hints of clove and leather complete the complex bouquet. On the palate, the entry is enveloping, supported by vibrant, silky tannins that accompany a long, lingering, savory finish with a pleasant aftertaste of bitter cocoa and citrus.
