Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG - Castello di Brolio - Barone Ricasoli 2020

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG produced by Castello di Brolio – Barone Ricasoli represents the excellence of Tuscan winemaking, a true gem for wine lovers. Born in the historic vineyards of Chianti, this wine is the result of a rigorous selection of the best Sangiovese grapes, grown on particularly suited soils that give the wine a unique and unmistakable character.

The Gran Selezione from Castello di Brolio is the result of a meticulous winemaking process, followed by extended aging in oak barrels that refines its organoleptic qualities, enriching it with complexity and harmony. In the glass, the wine presents an intense ruby red color, tending towards garnet as it ages.

On the nose, intense and lingering aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, are enhanced by spicy notes of tobacco and chocolate, with a slight touch of vanilla, a testament to its elegant passage through barrique. The taste is powerful, yet at the same time balanced, with well-structured tannins and a lively freshness that invites a second sip. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste that brings back the spices and red fruits.

Best served at a temperature of about 18°C, the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from Castello di Brolio pairs beautifully with complex dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is also a wine that promises excellent aging potential, able to evolve splendidly for many years in the cellar.

This wine is not only a testament to the Ricasoli family’s winemaking tradition but also a superb expression of the Chianti Classico terroir, ideal for those seeking a deep and memorable sensory experience.
