‘Cultus’ in Latin means cultivation and this wine is made from Sangiovese and the traditional complementary varieties of Colorino, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo. The newer vines have been replanted using the traditional ‘massal selection’ propagation method, which involves taking cuttings from the exceptionally old vines on the property; this is key to Badia a Coltibuono’s vision and its relationship with the terroir and its history
