Product Notes

Badia a Coltibuono's Sangioveto Toscana is a beautifully refined Italian red wine hailing from the illustrious Tuscany region. Exhibiting a deep, ruby red colouration, the wine impresses with a rich bouquet of red fruits and delicate spicy undertones. It’s matured for two years in oak barrels, allowing for a complex flavour profile laced with ripe cherries, earthy tobacco, and a hint of toasted almonds. Full-bodied and well-tannined, Sangioveto Toscana boasts an incredibly smooth, harmonious finish. This meticulously crafted wine pairs impeccably well with hearty beef dishes, enhancing culinary experiences. It embodies Tuscan elegance and the mastery of Italian viticulture.

Tasting Notes

A warm, savoury and concentrated wine offering an array of fragrant aromas of red fruits, balsamic notes, floral, toasty spice, vanilla and cloves all unfolding into the palate. Great structure is supported by balanced acidity and supple tannins through to an everlasting finish.

Visitors to the winery can embrace the full experience with vineyard tours, tasting sessions, and cooking classes.

The restaurant, offering locally-sourced traditional Tuscan cuisine, is noticeably a highlight, with diners treated to the perfect pairing of delectable dishes and Coltibuono’s own fine wine’s.
