Italian Red

Aromas of ripe plum and cherry with spicy, savoury notes. This is a fruit-forward style of Chianti - the palate is bright and sappy, with redcurrant and bramble fruit providing fresh acidity, and supple tannins giving structure. A juicy finish with a touch of black pepper.

The smell is ethereal, complex, with black cherry and wood fruits aromas. The taste is round, elegant, bodied and velvety, the final is persistent and spicy.

Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico has an intense ruby red colour and a fragrant bouquet with scents of small red fruit, vanilla and spicy notes with an appealing harmonious taste with balanced tannins. The intense persistence exalt the fresh and mineral notes typical of this wine. The grape varieties used include 80% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and fermentation takes place in stainless steel with 2/6 days of skins contact.
