2015 COLTIBUONO "CETAMURA" CHIANTI
2015 COLTIBUONO "CETAMURA" CHIANTI , TUSCANY, ITALY. Primarily Sangiovese with a small amout of Canaiolo. (Organic)
90 points James Suckling: "A fine and silky red with plum and chocolate character, medium body and a fresh finish. Real Chianti." (08/2016)
This tasty value from the Chianti region is primarily Sangiovese with a small amount of Canaiolo, a traditional regional varietal, which is traditional in Chianti. It was fermented in stainless steel then aged for a few months in bottle before release. It displays a classic red cherry, blackberry and plum nose with earth and spice accents and is great for pizza night, pastas and a whole host of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. It's priced to party, and makes a great house red for just about any occasion.
About: Cetamura is the name of an Etruscan settlement on the Badia a Coltibuono property.
In 1051 the monks of the Vallombrosan Order, a Tuscan reform of the Benedictines, founded the Abbey and also began planting the first vineyards in the Upper Chianti area. Over the centuries they extended their vast land holdings to include many thousands of acres and developed a flourishing wine production and commerce.
In 1810, when Tuscany was under Napoleonic rule, the monks were forced to leave Coltibuono and the monastery was secularized. The estate was first sold by lottery and then in 1846, Coltibuono was bought by Guido Giuntini, a Florentine banker ancestor of the current owners. Under the guidance of Piero Stucchi Prinetti, the estate grew and built a solid reputation in Italy and abroad through the high quality of its products. Emanuela, Paolo and Roberto, the new generation, continues today the activities embarked upon by their ancestors.
Total cultivated area: 90 hectares, of which 70 are vineyards and 20 to olive groves. The decision to adopt organic cultivation methods developed from the necessity to preserve the health of the soil, and from noticing how the conventional methods where weakening the health of the vines .
