Badia Crepaldo

Badia Crepaldo was founded in 2017 by a group of friends brought together by a shared passion for good wine. The project took shape thanks to winemaker Mosè Bernardini, who chose to turn this dream into reality by creating high-quality wines in an environment where his creativity could be fully expressed. He involved several long-time friends, companions in life and shared experiences, giving rise to a collective and authentic adventure.

Today, Badia Crepaldo stands as a distinctive presence in the wine landscape of Montepulciano and the surrounding areas. Every choice, from the selection of grape varieties to artisanal processing, is guided by the desire to create recognizable and original wines capable of telling a genuine story.

One of the winery’s defining features is that it does not own vineyards. From the very beginning, Badia Crepaldo chose to focus its resources on winemaking, carefully selecting the best grapes from trusted growers in Montepulciano, Trequanda, Cortona, and Cetona. What may seem like a limitation is actually one of its strengths: it allows great flexibility in grape selection and a constant pursuit of the highest quality.

The name Badia Crepaldo is inspired by the ancient abbey built in 1084, from which the village of Abbadia di Montepulciano later developed. This historical reference reflects the winery’s bond with its territory, while its production philosophy expresses a contemporary and independent vision.

Badia Crepaldo’s production is defined by an original choice within a territory traditionally devoted to great Sangiovese-based red wines. The winery focuses primarily on traditional-method sparkling wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, expressing a clear and distinctive identity in an increasingly crowded wine market.

Each year, the grapes are carefully selected from trusted suppliers in the areas of Montepulciano, Trequanda, Cortona, and Cetona. The winery closely monitors their analytical characteristics in order to identify the ideal harvest time and ensure the best possible quality for each vintage.

Traditional-method sparkling wine represents the highest expression of Badia Crepaldo’s identity. The 1084 line, named after the year of the ancient abbey that inspired the winery’s name, pays tribute to its historical roots while embodying its most ambitious and recognizable production choice.

Today, Badia Crepaldo produces around 10,000 bottles per year, about 7,000 of which are dedicated to traditional-method sparkling wines. The remaining production includes a small selection of still red and white wines, particularly the macerated white Le Fiore and the Pinot Noir Garipald.
