WINE DESCRIPTION

Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Gran Selezione Chianti Classico is a premium wine produced by one of the oldest wineries in Italy, Ricasoli. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Chianti Classico appellation, known for its ideal vineyard features such as the hilly terrain and the Mediterranean climate. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by a long maceration period and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Sangiovese grape, with notes of red fruit, spices, and a hint of vanilla. This wine is a perfect example of the traditional Chianti Classico style, with a modern twist.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Gran Selezione Chianti Classico is a full-bodied, velvety red that exudes aromas of dark berries, cloves, and a hint of tobacco.On the palate, the wine is rich and powerful, with ripe dark fruits and a long finish of leather and spice. The tannins are firm but round, and the acidity is fresh, balanced, and long-lasting. This wine is an excellent example of the traditional style of Chianti Classico and will age gracefully for many years.
