The Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio 2022 from Barone Ricasoli comes from the historic vineyards surrounding Castello di Brolio in Gaiole in Chianti. The elevated sites and diverse soils of limestone, clay, and rock give the wine structure, freshness, and aromatic depth.
The Gran Selezione category represents the highest quality level within Chianti Classico. These wines are sourced exclusively from estate-owned vineyards, undergo strict selection, and are aged longer, resulting in greater complexity and aging potential. The Castello di Brolio 2022 is made from 100% Sangiovese, a grape that in this area shows clear fruit, vibrant acidity, and an elegant tannic structure.
The 2022 vintage expresses these qualities in a balanced way. In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe cherry, red berries, and floral notes, complemented by subtle spicy nuances. On the palate, it is powerful and structured, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, complex finish.
