Ricasoli Description

Ricasoli's classic is now made from 100% Sangiovese. The grapes come from a south-facing plot at an ideal altitude of 250 to 450 metres above sea level. Castello di Brolio Gran Selezione is a beautiful wine with great richness and depth. The bouquet intense of small red berries, violets and spices. On the palate you can feel the precision, structure and freshness. The tannin and acid structure is well proportioned and promises a long life and an interesting ageing period. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a sparkling core. In the nose of pomegranate, blood oranges, some incense, then again rich cherries, noble wood. Very clear and very juicy on the palate, opens on fine orange tones, pithy, light-footed tannin, seems very purposeful and finesse-rich, great length." Falstaff

"Polished and balanced, this red offers cherry, plum, floral, iron and tobacco flavors, with a kiss of vanilla. Focused, exhibiting a dense line of tannins, yet this is balanced and complex. Youthful, so be patient." Wine Spectator

"The Barone Ricasoli 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio represent a new chapter in the history of this popular wine. The wine is 100% Sangiovese selected from various parcels. There has been a shift to fruit from higher elevations and cooler growing conditions. The three main soil types - sandstone, schistous galestro and limestone alberese - are all faithfully represented here. This wine is streamlined and elegant, and its freshness is superb. That crisp and tart character of Gaiole comes through clearly, along with polished mineral, clover, spice and forest fruit." Wine Advocate

"A polished and reserved Castello with cherry, orange-peel and chocolate aromas and flavors. Tight and round-tannined, in a very subtle and curated way. The precision in this wine is impressive. Needs time to open." James Suckling
