Lifted dark cherry and plum fruit glide through Barone Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2021, framed by vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins and a subtle spice and floral nuance. Medium-bodied yet persistent, it feels refined and almost weightless, finishing with long, pure red fruit and a hint of earth and dried herbs.

Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is Barone Ricasoli’s flagship Sangiovese, born only in top vintages from a meticulous selection of estate-grown fruit around the historic Brolio castle in Gaiole. Drawn from three classic Chianti Classico soil types—sandstone, galestro and alberese—and aged for close to two years in tonneaux, it marries depth and structure with a hallmark elegance, showing pure dark cherry, mineral tension, and the capacity to age gracefully for many years.
