Cetamura
Chianti d.o.c.g. 2024
Kerin O'Keefe
Cetamura takes its name from an Etruscan archaeological site in the Chianti hills — evidence of a human and viticultural presence that predates the founding of the abbey itself by centuries. This is the everyday wine: it brings the values of Badia a Coltibuono into a daily format, with no compromise on winemaking philosophy.
