Badia a Coltibuono

Badia a Coltibuono has belonged to the Stucchi Prinetti family since 1846. Six generations have done it with passion and respect for their exceptional heritage. The Stucchi are considered pioneers of Chianti, having invested in this land since 1846 when their ancestor, Florentine banker Michele Giuntini, bought the beautiful estate.
Since then, the property began to flourish.
Passed on to Maria Luisa Giuntini in the 1930s, she managed and transformed the estate until the late 1950s, when her son Piero Stucchi Prinetti took over the estate.
He began bottling the estate's finest vintages of Chianti Classico Riserva, selling them both on the national and international markets.
He was the first to see the potential of another traditional product of the region: extra virgin olive oil.
Piero's wife, Lorenza dé Medici di Ottajano, author of many books on recipes, started a culinary school program in the 1980s. The brothers Emanuela, Paolo and Roberto Stucchi Prinetti are the current owners and managers of the property.
