Badia Crepaldo

Toscana Rosso I.G.T.
Bottle of Badia Crepaldo, a wine by Badia Crepaldo

Description

Badia Crepaldo is a red wine made with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by varying proportions of Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. Its imposing structure and remarkable persistence reveal the ageing potential of a great red wine.

The label is inspired by the abbey that gave its name to the village of Abbadia di Montepulciano around the year 1000—the place where our winery is based today.

Production

During the strictly manual harvest, only the finest bunches that have reached perfect ripeness are selected. Once in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and transferred to the fermentation vats.

Alcoholic fermentation lasts approximately 15 days, with daily punch-downs. The wine is then transferred to French oak tonneaux, where it matures for approximately 15 months.

After blending, the wine rests for around three months in a single large oak cask. It is then bottled and aged for at least a further six months before release.
