In Florence for the 23rd Florence Korea Film Fest, Korean cinema star Hwang Jung Min, accompanied by his wife, took a trip to Chianti to visit Badia a Coltibuono, where he was welcomed by Emanuela Stucchi Prinetti.

The actor, who previously received international recognition at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in The Wailing, won Best Actor last year at both the Baeksang Arts Awards and the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

The delightful visit could only conclude with a wine tasting at Badia a Coltibuono.

The Cook magazine of Corriere della Sera, on the occasion of 8 March, published an article by Alessandra Dal Monte dedicated to the women of Italian wine.

Among these is Emanuela Stucchi Prinetti of Badia a Coltibuono: “The first and only woman – to date – president of the Chianti Classico Consortium, Emanuela Stucchi is leading, alongside Andrea Cabib, the development of hospitality in the Badia a Coltibuono winery in Gaiole in Chianti, including visits, rooms and catering, and a more contemporary recalibration of the range of wines that have always been its ambassadors. The Chianti Classico 2020, fresh and savory, with a hint of minerality, has become a cult bottle especially in the United States.”

RS Chianti Classico 2022 was selected by Gambero Rosso among the best wines in the category in terms of quality and price. The article, written by William Pregentelli, highlights “The expressive naturalness of the Badia a Coltibuono labels, the result of a mature interpretative sensitivity, has for years been the guiding thread of the production of the Stucchi Prinetti family winery, located in Monti in the southern portion of the Additional Geographical Unit of Gaiole in Chianti.”

The author emphasizes how the wines of Badia a Coltibuono can be considered “classics” of the Gallo Nero.

The Badia a Coltibuono Sangioveto Toscana I.G.T. 2020 has been included among the best wines of the year, earning the prestigious “4 Tralci” award and the special “Gemma” recognition. This accolade celebrates the dedication of the entire team, who work tirelessly to convey the emotions and beauty of their land through a glass of wine.

A warm autumn sun accompanied the end of the harvest. Even the last bunches of Sangiovese have reached the cellar, and the first impressions are positive. The unstable spring weather was balanced by a hot summer and September rains, which brought vitality to the grapes. The harvest period, which has been rather unusual in recent years, extended until October 15. The amount of grapes delivered to the Monti in Chianti cellar is higher than in the past. The average alcohol levels are slightly lower than in recent seasons, where they had reached significant levels. An intoxicating scent of must spreads through the winery’s vats.

The Sangioveto 2020 Toscana i.g.t. by Badia a Coltibuono, an organic wine made with 100% Sangiovese grapes, has obtained the Tre Bicchieri 2025 by Gambero Rosso.

The other wines that have obtained the Tre Bicchieri over the years are the Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico (4 times), the Cultus Boni Chianti Classico Riserva and the Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva

The Sangioveto by Badia a Coltibuono is the result of long years of study around the properties of one of the most widespread vines in Tuscany: Sangiovese. A wine that also wants to be a tribute to the winemaking tradition of this region.

Gambero Rosso, in publishing the news of the awarded wines in Tuscany, accompanied the article with a photo, by Bruno Bruchi, depicting our “Terrazze” vineyard, which confirms itself as one of the most representative corners of Chianti Classico.
