The wine

Brolio Chianti Classico: The Soul of Ricasoli Sangiovese

Let me guide you toward a wine that embodies the purity of Chianti Classico, an authentic expression of Sangiovese. This Brolio from Ricasoli is an invitation to discover an exceptional terroir, a story to be savored glass after glass.

The cradle of Chianti: Castello di Brolio

We are in Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany, where Castello di Brolio reigns supreme. It is here, on these ancestral lands, that the Ricasoli estate passionately cultivates its Sangiovese. This Chianti Classico is the fruit of meticulous work, a tribute to the history and winemaking tradition of the region. The single grape variety, 100% Sangiovese, is the signature of this wine, guaranteeing fidelity to the original taste.

This wine is crafted with care: a maceration of 14 to 16 days at controlled temperatures between 24 and 27°C, entirely in steel tanks, to preserve the freshness of the fruit. Then, it ages for 18 months in large barrels, which gives it beautiful complexity without masking its fruity character. It is unfiltered, proof of the estate's commitment to offering the most natural possible expression of its terroir. On the nose, you will discover notes of red fruits and iris, an elegance that is confirmed on the palate. It is a composed aromatic profile, with fruity reminders and light notes of spices and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it offers a remarkable balance between acidity and structure, a harmony that makes it particularly pleasant.

At the table with the Chianti Classico Brolio

This Chianti Classico is an ideal companion for the table. Its balance and structure allow it to accompany a wide variety of dishes. Imagine it with pasta in tomato sauce, white meats, or medium-aged cheeses. It can even hold its own against more flavorful dishes if you serve it at the right temperature. It is a wine designed for sharing, for those convivial moments when the bottle becomes the center of attention. Whether for a dinner among friends or a special occasion, this Brolio will create a warm and authentic atmosphere. Keep it away from heat and get ready to savor a piece of Tuscany.

The 100 % Sangiovese from Brolio has the backbone needed for a good tomato sauce: its acidity should pay it homage, not wage war on it. Serve it slightly chilled with pasta or white meat.
