Ricasoli Chianti Classico Brolio DOCG 2022 (Italy)

Description

Blackberry, Plum, Spice

Rich, dark shimmering ruby colour. Open-hearted, dense bouquet of blackberry, plums and a delicate hint of clove in the background. Juicy flavour, shows supple tannins, spreads out beautifully. The savoury notes are typical of the terrior of Brolio. A great Chianti Classico every year with an exemplary price/quality ratio.

Vineyards are grown on the five most representative soils in Brolio: Macigno del Chianti (sandstone), Scaglia Toscana (Galestro), Monte Morello (Alberese), Marine Deposit (sandy deposits and clay at deeper levels) and Ancient Fluvial Terrace (silty deposits with clay).

Autumn was very rainy and quite cold. Winter was mild and not particularly rainy. Spring, therefore, continued with average temperatures and scarce rainfall. What characterized the summer of 2020 was the almost total absence of precipitation, with a total of about 30 mm. No particular vegetative difficulties of the plants were observed in this period, thanks to careful management of the vineyards and soils. Finally, the month of October displayed all its typical characteristics: lower temperatures during the night, and an alternation of rainy and sunny days, which however have allowed an end of the harvest with excellent grape quality.
