Ricasoli, Historia Familiae IGT MG

Ricasoli Historia Familiae IGT MG is a bold, terroir-driven Tuscan red that brings together Cabernet Sauvignon’s depth with the freshness and mineral backbone of the Monte Morello hills. Crafted by a family-owned estate with a strong focus on tradition, low yields, and hand-harvesting, it reflects both classic Tuscan structure and an international edge. This is a wine that feels rooted in place, yet confidently contemporary.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, dark colour with impressive intensity. The nose opens with blackcurrant, cherry, violet, cedarwood, and warm spice, giving it a polished and layered aromatic profile. On the palate, it is full-bodied and firmly structured, with ripe fruit wrapped around firm tannins and a distinct chalky, mineral freshness. The oak ageing adds depth, spice, and texture without overpowering the fruit, and the wine has the balance and concentration to age gracefully for 10–20 years, developing notes of leather, tobacco, and dried herbs over time.

Production
The vineyards sit at around 450 metres above sea level on south and southwest-facing slopes around Monte Morello, where altitude helps preserve freshness while allowing steady ripening. The soils are rich in calcareous stone, which contributes to the wine’s firm structure and pronounced mineral character. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with 14–16 days of maceration, and then matured for approximately 20 months in French barriques, mainly new oak, to build complexity and structure.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for beef, bistecca fiorentina, lamb, game, grilled meats, and robust pasta dishes with ragù. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up and show its full aromatic and textural depth.

Producer
Ricasoli is one of Tuscany’s most historic and respected wine families, long associated with quality-driven winemaking and a deep connection to the Chianti region.
