Deep ruby red color. The nose, elegant, expresses the complexity of floral aromas and ripe red fruit, liquorice, vanilla and chocolate. The palate is full and rich with soft, velvety tannins. The most authentic expression of the terroir of “Brolio”.
Perfect with Florentine steak, roast or braised veal with mushrooms.
Founded in 1141, Barone Ricasoli is recognised as the oldest winery in Italy and one of the most historic estates in the world of wine. Located at the iconic Castello di Brolio in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region, the estate has remained in the hands of the Ricasoli family for nearly nine centuries.
