Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico 375ml

Grapes: 95% sangiovese och 5% colorino.

Character: This is an easy-drinking yet seriously structured wine with a medium, fine fruitiness of red fruit, deep and somewhat complex origin-typical cypress nuanced aroma with a slight hint of oak barrel.

Goes well with: Excellent with beef, lamb and veal dishes

About the wine: The taste is medium-bodied with a finely textured body, a grape-typical refreshing acidity and fine-tuned tannins as well as a soft vanilla sweetness from the oak barrels. Chianti Classico, just south of Florence in Tuscany. Classico means that the grapes are grown in the central parts of the Chianti area. The grapes for this wine come from the producer's own vineyards in Gaiole, located at 350-400 meters above sea level. Vineyards are grown on the five most representative soils in Brolio: Macigno del Chianti (sandstone), Scaglia Toscana (Galestro), Monte Morello (Alberese), Marine Deposit (sandy deposits and clay at deeper levels) and Ancient Fluvial Terrace (silty deposits with clay).
