The aroma is dominated by ripe citrus, peaches, yellow apples and hints of tropical fruit, along with white flowers, vanilla, and a light buttery brioche note. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a soft, creamy texture yet maintaining a refreshing acidity. The taste reveals lemon, pineapple, pear, toasted nuts, and a subtle mineral note. The finish is long, elegant, and harmonious.
About the manufacturer
Barone Ricasoli is one of the oldest wineries in Italy and one of the most important in the history of Chianti. The Ricasoli family roots in Tuscany date back to the 12th century, with their main symbol being Castello di Brolio in the Chianti Classico region. For over 800 years, the winery has remained in family hands, even through wars, political changes, and economic crises, making it today not just a winemaking estate but also a historical heritage of Tuscany. The current owner, Francesco Ricasoli, is a representative of the 32nd generation, continuing the family tradition in the modern winemaking world.
Baron Bettino Ricasoli, one of the most important figures in Italian wine history, had the greatest influence on the Chianti region. In the 19th century, he was not only the Prime Minister of Italy but also the first person to systematically define the classic Chianti formula. In 1872, he created a recipe that assigned the main role to the Sangiovese grape, supplemented by Canaiolo and other local varieties. This model became the foundation of Chianti for decades and helped shape the region's identity in the world. Bettino Ricasoli was also one of the first in Italy to approach winemaking scientifically – he studied soils, clonal differences, and the impact of terroir on wine, which is why he is often called the father of modern Chianti winemaking.
