Badia a Coltibuono Cetamura Chianti 2024 750ml

Badia a Coltibuono is a historic abbey estate in the Chianti hills with a winemaking history going back to 1051. Cetamura is named after an Etruscan archaeological site.

This is the estate's Chianti DOCG, not its Chianti Classico: Sangiovese with other traditional varieties. Fermentation starts spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel, with gentle punch-downs and délestage, and the wine matures in steel too, with no oak. It's 12.5% alcohol.

It's a bright ruby wine with floral hints, fresh red fruit such as marasca cherry and delicate spice, then a smooth palate with lively acidity, fine tannins and a savory finish.

Against Frescobaldi Castiglioni Chianti, Cetamura is a native-yeast, steel-only Chianti with no oak at all; for a fresh, fruit-first Chianti for weeknight dinners, choose Cetamura.

Serve it at cool room temperature, 60 to 64°F, with Tuscan pasta, grilled vegetables, white meats and flavorful fish. Drink it over the next few years.
