BADIA A PASSIGNANO, CHIANYI

Badia is a village, a vineyard, a winery, a label.
Spread over an area of 223 hectares, of which 65 lives, it occupies one of the most beautiful and popular areas of Chianti Classico.
Visiting these cellars of the Antinori family is a truly unmissable experience for enthusiasts: dating back to the 10th century, they are located right under the Abbey St. Michael Archangel in Passignano, vaulted ceilings, arches, thick walls, a 'shelter' as old as excellent for the aging of a fine nectar, the Badia Passignano.
Before entering the cellars you will meet the small vegetable garden where vegetables and herbs are grown used in the kitchen of the restaurant that is right next to the monastery.
I could taste some wines icon of the territory.
