Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Smoky-toned dark cherry and plum give the 2021 Barone Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva a brooding, concentrated feel, layered with leather, licorice and a touch of dried herbs.

A structured, estate-spanning Riserva that shows both energy and depth, it will reward a bit of patience in the cellar.
