Tasting notes
Sangiovese planted in 2002 on Alberese soils at 380 m above sea level facing south-east. 15,000–25,000 bottles, a total that will increase (Castello di Brolio can be up to 30,000–50,000 bottles though there was no 2017 even though they made the crus.) Many years went into this before releasing it apparently. Very aromatic. Fresh and sinewy with lots of acidity and muscularity. Some stoniness. Very fluid. (JR)

The Barone Ricasoli 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colledilà exudes an elegant fruit profile, but the wine is not without significant intensity and concentration too. With Sangiovese from clayey limestone soils rich in calcium carbonate and poor in organic matter, this wine also boasts that beautiful minerality that we saw in the others. Delicate berry fruit cedes to crushed oyster shell, dark spice and campfire ash. To the palate, the wine is high, firm and long.
