“Rocca Guicciarda” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021
Francesco Ricasoli, the likeable and ambitious owner of Castello di Brolio, brings out the elegance and finesse as well as a marvellous depth of fruit in his wines. Rocca Guicciarda Riserva is a soft, silky wine. Dark ruby in colour, it has a rich, open bouquet of cherry and pomegranate with a fine almond and tobacco note.

“Brolio Bettino” Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
This red wine in Riserva quality is dedicated to Bettino Ricasoli, who wrote down the grape variety mix of today's Chianti back in 1872. But he was much more than that: twice Prime Minister of the united Italy (1861 and 1866), founder of the daily newspaper "La Nazione", agricultural researcher and "father" of the first Chianti product specification. The creation of this wine interprets his tireless determination to create an independent Chianti style that is both traditional and contemporary to this day.

“Torricella” Chardonnay Toscana IGT 2023
According to Francesco Ricasoli, Torricella is "the white soul of Brolio" and comes from a vineyard that was originally planted with Malvasia Toscana vines and was located near a well-known Tuscan estate. This estate was called Torricella. Since 2003, this vineyard has been planted entirely with Chardonnay vines, producing a white wine with enormous ageing potential. Francesco comments: "With Torricella, a very great white wine was created from the very first vintage, which is able to give its best even after many years of ageing. It is surprising that even 50 or even 70-year-old vintages are still lively and fresh. Take a look at the analysis data - alcohol, total acidity, pH value and volatile acidity - which very often prove the longevity of this wine."

This made it possible to precisely define the sites that are particularly good for Merlot, from which wines with a unique structure and unmistakable flavour emerge. With the 2018 vintage, Francesco Ricasoli is now presenting the "new" Casalferro, whose grapes come from the three different vineyards Vigna Casalferro, Vigna Pecchierino and Vigna Sodacci.

“Sanbarnaba” Bianco Toscana IGT 2020
Here comes the debut vintage of a great white wine from a classic red wine region. In a small edition of less than 6,000 bottles, an elegant and at the same time very independent Trebbiano was created, which rightly bears the label based on the famous "Castello di Brolio" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. The white Trebbiano grape variety has a tradition of over a hundred years at Brolio, and the grapes for this white cru come from a small 1.18-hectare plot in the company's own Tarci vineyard. According to tradition, a monument was erected here to San Barnaba, the protector of the vineyards from hail.

The family estate Castello di Brolio sits peacefully on a picturesque hill in the Chianti mountains - surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cypresses. It was at this magnificent location in the municipality of Gaiole that Baron Bettino Ricasoli first determined in the late 1860s which grape varieties a Chianti could contain.
The most famous wine of the house - Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio - is made from 100% Sangiovese and aged for 23 months in barriques. Other premium wines include the single-varietal Merlot Casalferro and the three single-varietal Sangiovese Colledilà, CeniPrimo and Roncicone, vinified as single-varietals, all of which are in the top Chianti Classico Gran Selezione category. They are the result of a development that began back in 1993: At that time, Francesco Barone Ricasoli took over the winery. He immediately launched an ambitious quality offensive: New vineyards were planted, and a scientifically underpinned programme for selecting and propagating the best old Sangiovese clones was set in motion. The youngest scion of the famous noble family also analysed the individual sites - a total of around 240 hectares of vineyards on 1,200 hectares of land - in order to better understand the characteristics of the vineyards and the influence of the soil on the wine and to be able to avoid mistakes on the way from the grape to the bottle. Oenologist oenologist Carlo Ferrini, who knows Chianti and its wines inside out, has also played a big part in Ricasoli 1141's qualitative soaring. SUPERIORE.DE
"The history of the Ricasoli estate is inseparably linked with that of Chianti Classico. Even today, the winery is considered a model winery in the growing region." Gambero Rosso
"Exciting work is underway at Barone Ricasoli to study and map the soil conditions on the Brolio property. To commemorate these efforts, the winery now has three single-vineyard Chianti Classico Gran Selezione wines, two of which debuted in 2019. Francesco Ricasoli and his team have identified 19 different soil types in their planning. The five main soils are Macigno del Chianti (well-draining sand and rocks called arenarie), Scaglia Toscana (or shale-based Galestro), Monte Morello (also known as Alberese limestone with calcareous claystone), Marine Depots (with Pliocene marine sediments and sandy deposits) and finally Ancient Fluvial Terrace (or poorly structured silty deposits with clay). The three new wines represent the last three soil types in this list.
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colledilà represents the Monte Morello soils. The 7.6 hectare single vineyard plot was planted in 2002 on very rocky soils rich in calcium, clay and organic matter. These characteristics give this wine its sharpness and concentration, promising long ageing in the cellar.
The second wine is the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Roncicone, which represents the soils of the marine deposits. It is a 10.1 hectare plot planted between 1998 and 2000 at a density of 6,000 plants per hectare. The soils are rich in marine fossils with sand at the top and thicker clay under the topsoil. My impression of this wine is that it is the most immediate and softly structured.
The third wine, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione CeniPrimo, represents the old river terrace. CeniPrimo is a 6.4 hectare site planted in 1998 with southwest exposure. This site is located in a valley on the Arbia River, and the soils are very complex at this site with alluvium and clay that is low in organic matter and lower in limestone. To my palate, this expression was the most nuanced and diverse. I would expect this wine to evolve slowly and go through many different incarnations over the years."
