Showing the warmth and concentration of the vintage, the Badia a Coltibuono 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Cultus (it appears the word "Boni" has been removed from the wine's name) is 80% Sangiovese blended with 20% complementary grapes. It spends a long time on the skins, with maceration lasting up to 40 days, and it's aged in a combination of botti and barrique for 24 months. It is infused with richness and ripeness as a result. Black cherries and soft blackberries fold into spice and sweet earth. Production is 7,200 bottles.
