Barone Ricasoli Description
Intense ruby red color. On the nose, flowers and small red fruit aromas. Elegant, with velvety tannins, which integrate with the acidity. Persistent finish, expression of the Brolio territory.
Blend: 95% Sangiovese, 5% Colorino
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Autumnal aromas of baking spices and the savoriness of a freshly brewed cup of coffee are balanced by a sweet, cherry vanilla scone and a peppery edge. Cherry brightens the palate, with the savoriness maintained by herbal and stony undertones. Bright acidity bounces around firm tannins.
James Suckling: 92 Points
Aromas of dark cherries, mocha, leather and tea leaves. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Lively and fresh, with lots of red cherries and berries on the center-palate and a flavorful finish. Typical for an outstanding Chianti Classico.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Francesco Ricasoli hits it out of the ballpark even on his entry-level wines. The 2020 Chianti Classico Brolio is a terrific value with really nice, clean and simple lines. This is a classic blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino, perfect for everyday drinking. It offers cherry, blue flower and earthy aromas, and it shows refreshing acidity too. Even more of an accomplishment is the fact that production is so large.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
This juicy red is marked by cherry, tomato leaf and olive flavors. Boasts bright acidity, with dusty tannins flexing on the finish. A linear, well-delineated version.
