Wine information:
The Barons Ricasoli have occupied Brolio for the 10 centuries since they established it in 1141, and during this time they have shaped the history of the Chianti Classico territory and its wines. Today, Barone Ricasoli, is the fourth oldest company in the world still run by its founding family and the first in Italy in the field of wine. It is the largest estate inside the Chianti Classico appellation, possessing 250 hectares planted to vine. The Chianti Classico DOCG Brolio is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes aged 9 months in large barrels and barriques. Typical, perfect expression of the Brolio terroir with its mineral nuance and intensity. Recalls mature fruits like black cherries and blackberries on the nose, with hints of chocolate and spice. Full, round and structured on the palate, with toasty hints and sweet tannins. Lingering, velvety and very pleasant finish.
