Wine Spectator
The Ricasoli family has been making wine in Chianti Classico for centuries. In 1872, Baron Bettino Ricasoli penned the original formula for the delicate reds of this Tuscan appellation. Today, Francesco Ricasoli continues the tradition of quality winemaking, crafting some of the region's most structured and beautiful wines. Castello di Brolio is made from Sangiovese with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and two-thirds of it was aged for 18 months in new barriques (a type of small oak barrel).
 

Additional Information

Region :
Italy
As the world’s top wine-exporter, Italy is an important wine region both because of the amount and quality of wines produced. Just two grapes—Nebbiolo and Sangiovese—are used to make some of the finest Italian wines, including Barolo, Brunello de Montalcino and Chianti. Still, Italy is home to dozens of wine grape varieties, with important wines being made from Corvina, Barbera, Cortese, Moscato and traditionally French varietals. The major wine regions include Piedmont, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Campania and others. Most producers follow the government-regulated DOC classification system, with a few notable exceptions including the esteemed “Super Tuscan” producers. View all our items from Italy
