Chianti Classico Brolio Ricasoli 2023 is a red wine from the hills surrounding Gaiole in Chianti. It presents lifted aromas of sour cherry, violet and dried herbs, with a subtle trace of spice from partial oak maturation. The palate is vivid and linear, its fine-grained tannins carrying bright red fruit through to a clean, sapid finish. Acidity provides clarity rather than sharpness, giving the wine a poised, energetic feel. Hints of earth and blood orange linger, capturing both the transparency of the vintage and the limestone influence of the estate’s high-altitude vineyards.
