Hidden Tuscany Rating
This metodo classico spumante 100% Chardonnay 2020, pas dosé, aged 36 months on lees at Castello di Brolio, relies on the finesse of its bubbles. No distinction or DOCG appellation mentioned, and Chardonnay remains an international grape variety.
Precise zone (Castello di Brolio, Gaiole in Chianti) but international Chardonnay grape and unspecified appellation, which limits the territorial anchoring.
No awards or guides mentioned; Ricasoli is named and located at Castello di Brolio, without any attested distinction.
Large 1.5 L format at €47.43, brought down to €23.72 per 75 cl; crossed-out price at €53.33: consistent for a metodo classico aged 36 months on lees.
Precise profile (bread crust, flowers, citrus), serve chilled with varied pairings: oven-baked fish, shellfish, vegetable antipasti, fresh cheeses.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine Tuscany for a moment, not under the blazing summer sun, but in the coolness of an ancestral cellar. It is there that this Spumante Metodo Classico from Ricasoli is born, a bubble of elegance that defies clichés and transports you to the heart of a reinvented winemaking tradition.
We are in Gaiole in Chianti, within the legendary Castello di Brolio, birthplace of a winemaking history that goes back centuries. The Ricasoli estate, pioneer and guardian of Tuscan excellence, stands out here with a bold approach. This Spumante is a pure Chardonnay, vintage 2020, a rarity in this land of Sangiovese, revealing the terroir's ability to express unsuspected nuances.
This wine is made using the classic method, with a second fermentation in the bottle and patient aging of 36 months on the lees. This long period gives this Pas Dosé remarkable complexity and finesse. To the eye, you will discover a luminous robe, animated by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, I first perceive delicate notes of bread crust, the signature of its aging, then lively aromas of flowers and fresh citrus. On the palate, the absence of dosage is felt through admirable tension and purity. You will appreciate its sapid attack, its compact body and its dry, zesty finish, with beautiful liveliness.
This Spumante Metodo Classico is an invitation to the table. I recommend it with baked fish, delicate crustaceans or antipasti of fresh vegetables. It also pairs wonderfully with fresh soft cheeses, highlighting their creaminess without masking it. Serve it chilled, in ample glasses, so that its aromas can fully unfold. It is the ideal companion to celebrate a special moment or simply to treat yourself to a moment of refinement.
