Ricasoli 1141 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gaiole Castello di Brolio 2022

Ricasoli 1141 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gaiole Castello di Brolio is a distinguished Tuscan red that captures the character and prestige of one of Chianti Classico’s most historic estates. Crafted from a classic blend led by Sangiovese, it combines depth, elegance, and a strong sense of place, making it a standout for collectors and lovers of serious Italian wine alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with youthful vibrancy and impressive concentration. The nose opens with ripe red cherry, plum, and dark berry fruit, layered with violet, spice, cedar, and subtle earthy notes from the oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with the freshness and bright acidity that define great Sangiovese. The fruit is supported by polished tannins and touches of cocoa, tobacco, and savory herbs, leading to a long, balanced finish. This is a wine with excellent aging potential and should continue to evolve beautifully over the next 10–15 years, or longer in a well-kept cellar.

Production
The grapes come from hillside vineyards in the Gaiole area of Chianti Classico, where the combination of altitude, climate, and mixed soils provides ideal conditions for premium viticulture. The fruit is harvested with great care and undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation with the skins for 12 to 18 days at 24–27°C, allowing careful extraction of color, aroma, and tannin. The wine is then matured for 18 months in barriques and tonneaux before bottling, giving it added complexity and refinement.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted lamb, game, braised beef, porcini mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano. Serve at 16–18°C, and if possible decant for about 1 hour to let the aromas open and the structure soften.
