From Barone Ricasoli, the historic estate founded in 1141 in Italy’s Chianti Classico region, the Brolio Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from the estate’s best vineyards in the Brolio zone of Gaiole in Chianti, featuring limestone-clay and galestro soils at 300-450 meters elevation that impart exceptional depth and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2023 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12-16 months’ aging in large oak casks and tonneaux to enhance complexity and finesse. As the flagship of the Chianti Classico line, this production yields a deep ruby wine with garnet edges and remarkable poise.
Tasting Notes An elegant, structured red with ripe cherry and refined spice, reflecting Chianti Classico's limestone-clay terroir. The nose reveals black cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and hints of graphite, licorice, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and harmonious, with firm yet polished tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of dark plum, spice, and chalky minerality, leading to a long, persistent finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2023 Brolio Chianti Classico DOCG earned 93 points from James Suckling for its refined fruit and structured elegance.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45-60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted meats, truffle pasta, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater leather and earthy complexity over time.
