Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a wine that embodies the discreet elegance of Tuscany, a Riserva from Castello di Brolio signed Ricasoli. This Chianti Classico DOCG is not a wine that shouts its presence, but one that whispers its history with striking depth.
Nestled in Gaiole in Chianti, Castello di Brolio is the historic cradle of Ricasoli, an estate whose name is inseparable from the Chianti Classico appellation. It is here, on these ancestral lands, that Sangiovese, the sole grape variety of this wine, draws its strength and character. The 2023 vintage I am offering you is the fruit of a centuries-old tradition and meticulous craftsmanship.
The vinification of this Sangiovese takes place with fermentation in stainless steel tanks, maintained between 24 and 27°C, followed by maceration for 14 to 16 days. This process gently extracts the aromas and color. Its aging, a key element of its identity, takes place over 18 months in barrels, of which 30% are new, giving the wine complexity and polish without masking its fruit. To the eye, it displays a deep, limpid red color. On the nose, you will be charmed by delicate floral notes and aromas of ripe red fruits, complemented by scents of small red berries and earthy nuances, with a hint of fine spices. On the palate, this wine reveals itself harmonious, with a balanced structure and tannins that are present but perfectly integrated, offering pleasant persistence and a freshness that supports every sip.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is an ideal companion for convivial meals. I particularly recommend it with flavorful red meats, fragrant roasts or mushroom-based dishes, where its structure and freshness will shine. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, such as a Tuscan Pecorino. Serve it between 16 and 18°C; a brief aeration in a decanter before tasting will fully reveal its aromatic bouquet. It is an invitation to savor the authenticity of Tuscany, glass in hand, in all simplicity.
