On Tuesday, October 31, 2023 – Halloween – BTG Wine Bar will present a special evening and wine dinner with Roberto Stucchi, the sixth generation of his family to run Italy’s Badia a Coltibuono winery in Tuscany. Since 1846 Badia a Coltibuono has belonged to the Stucchi Prinetti family. Six generations have succeeded with passion and respect for its extraordinary legacy. The Stucchis are to be considered pioneers of Chianti, having invested in the land since 1846 when their ancestor, Florentine banker Michele Giuntini bought the beautiful property.

The Badia a Coltibuono vineyards are one of the world’s best habitats for growing Sangiovese, which they allow to express gracefully, harmoniously and with elegance.

BTG Sommelier Louis Koppel, CWE invites guests 21 and over to come taste and hear about how and why Badia a Coltibuono wines are some of the most precise and balanced of the Chianti Classico region. The wines being poured on Halloween will be Sangiovese, Chianti Classico, “Montebello” (a blend of nine indigenous grapes), and Vin Santo. The wines will be paired with special dishes for the evening from Chef/Owner Fred Moesinger’s kitchen.

The cost for the Badia a Coltibuono wine dinner is $120 per person ($60/food & $60/wine). Seating is very limited. Call 801-359-2814 to reserve your spot.
