Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva 2022

The 2022 Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva is a refined and structured red that reflects the diverse geological terroirs of the Brolio estate. It displays a dark, bright ruby colour and opens with an intense bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums, and wilted roses, layered with complex notes of cloves, aniseed, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is warm and full-bodied, showcasing a sturdier backbone than the standard bottling. It features a harmonious balance between velvety, well-integrated tannins and a vibrant acidity, leading to a long, persistent finish with hints of mineral-rich earth and savory spices. This vintage is noted for its resilience and fruit intensity, achieved despite a particularly hot growing season.
