From Barone Ricasoli, a historic estate founded in 1141 in Italy’s Chianti DOCG, the Chianti 2024 is a refined blend dominated by Sangiovese (90%) with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from estate vineyards on clay-limestone and alberese soils in the Brolio area that impart vibrancy and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2024 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 9-12 months' aging in large Slavonian oak casks to preserve fruit purity and enhance finesse. This classic expression yields a ruby red wine with garnet edges and approachable elegance.
Tasting Notes An elegant, vibrant red with fresh red fruit and subtle herbal spice, reflecting Chianti’s limestone terroir. The nose reveals cherry, raspberry, violet, and hints of herbs and earth. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of juicy red berries, licorice, and a touch of minerality, leading to a long, graceful finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2024 Chianti DOCG earned 91 points from James Suckling for its vibrant fruit and refined balance.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 30 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with pasta, grilled meats, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2030, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
