Ricasoli Winery
Ricasoli Winery, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, is the epitome of Tuscan wine culture. Nestled among gentle hills, velvety valleys, and thick woodlands of oaks and chestnuts, the property spans an impressive 1,200 hectares, which includes nearly 240 hectares of vineyards and 26 of olive groves. This creates a breathtaking panorama around the Brolio Castle, located within the town limits of Gaiole in Chianti, and a constant succession of colors and hues that paint a picture of Tuscany's natural beauty. Since 1993, Baron Francesco Ricasoli has been at the helm of this central Tuscan company, guiding it through innovative challenges. His stewardship is characterized by a deep respect for his ancestors, notably Bettino Ricasoli, who have played significant roles in shaping this territory. Francesco Ricasoli’s leadership has seen the introduction of new ideas and concepts aimed at making the vineyards sustainable. He has embarked on an ongoing study of soil types and a clonal selection of the Brolio Sangiovese, demonstrating his passion and commitment to the vineyards. His efforts have led to the total renovation and comprehensive mapping of the vineyards. The new wines, therefore, are the embodiment of the research carried out with the same scientific rigor as his illustrious ancestor but with a contemporary spirit. Like a runner receiving the baton, Francesco Ricasoli carries it forward with renewed energy, ensuring that the Ricasoli Winery continues to offer wines that are a true expression of their terroir.
Ricasoli, Chianti Classico, 2019
Ricasoli, a highly esteemed wine estate, is nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany, Italy. The Ricasoli family's connection to wine goes back to the 12th century, marking this winery as one of the earliest in the world and the oldest in Italy.
The winery is located at Castello di Brolio, a historic castle that has been owned by the Ricasoli family since 1141. The castle's previous owner, Barone Bettino Ricasoli, also known as the Iron Baron, played a key role in establishing the estate's reputation. His extensive experimentation in the 19th century resulted in the creation of the original formula for Chianti wine, which continues to serve as the basis for the modern Chianti Classico that we appreciate today.
The 2019 Chianti Classico carries a 14% alcohol level and is crafted using the Sangiovese grape. This red wine is a tribute to the Ricasoli family's rich winemaking heritage and a testament to the unique characteristics of the region. Its production process involves a meticulous selection of grapes, followed by a carefully monitored fermentation process. This attention to detail results in a wine that captures the essence of its terroir.
The taste profile of this wine is a delightful expression of the Sangiovese grape. It offers a captivating blend of flavors that are both complex and harmonious. The wine's distinct characteristics and the historical significance of the Ricasoli estate make the 2019 Chianti Classico a truly special selection for both connoisseurs and casual wine enthusiasts.
