Description

So RARE !!! - Italian history ..1968 Badia a Coltibuono -Chianti Riserva - very rare Historical wine !

This bottle originates from a place which managed to keep its characteristics intact for centuries. It was an agricultural environment with a medieval imprint until 1969 , run by a farm manager and sharecroppers, who lived in the farmhouses. It was the custom for the wine to be produced in the individual holdings, with the best sent to the “master's” cellars: the Riserva (reserve wine).

The varieties: Sangiovese 65%, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo 15%, Trebbiano and Malvasia 20%. The vineyards were cultivated using animal drawn tractors and fertilized with manure. It was only from 1968 onwards, that Fiat 411 caterpillar tractors began to be used.

Towards the beginning of October, the grapes were crushed by the sharecropper himself in open wooden 90 hl vats and, once fermentation began, a special stick was used to plunge the cap. Crushing took place without removing the stems.

After approximately 15 days, the sharecropper delivered the master's share of the devatted wine to the main farm and it was then refermented with the addition of selected berries in the Abbey's ancient cellars. With the March moon, the wine was removed from the fermentation tanks and placed in chestnut wood barrels in the master's cellars. Iron tie rods were placed inside these barrels to increase the intensity of the colour. After two rackings per year and an incalculable stay in the barrels of the Badia a Coltibuono cellars, many of these wines were only bottled in the early 80s.
