2019 Barone Ricasoli Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico, Tuscany

The great wine Castello di Brolio is created from a meticulous selection of the best Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes from the estate’s best vineyards. The grapes used for this wonderful selection come from vineyards facing south/southwest at 250 to 450 meters above sea level. Each lot of grapes is treated separately and meticulously, for these grapes are the expression of the finest locations, making them particularly rich in aromas and body.

Produced only in the best years, it is an iconic wine, a wine that leaves its mark, luxurious, with its own personality; its salient features are its concentration and tannic structure. These prized bottles, carefully aged in the cellars at Brolio Castle, warm hearts and souls and offer extraordinary wine that conserves and increases in elegance and freshness even after many years of aging.

Comprising 90% Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) and Petit Verdot (5%) Castello di Brolio Gran Selezione shows intense ruby red colour. Complex nose with fruity aromas of red fruits, plums, balsamic hints and vanilla scents. The entry is firm but elegant, with sweet tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long with excellent persistence. It is the ‘grand vin’ of Brolio.
