James Suckling 96
A spicy and deep wine with intense, savory aromas of graphite, black pepper and smoke. Serious Chianti Classico with red and black cherries and minerals. It's full-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins and long, crisp acidity. There is stunning savoriness, length and tension.

The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio is a seriously beautiful, elegant wine. Ample on the palate, with gorgeous freshness, the 2022 is also very complete. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, macerated cherry, liquorice and mocha are some of the many nuances that start to take shape with some coaxing. What a gorgeous wine this is.

The Barone Ricasoli 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gaiole Castello di Brolio offers plump primary fruit and lightly applied oak nuances that add volume and depth. This is one of the flagship wines of the estate, and it shows consistent results over the years. In many ways, it is the estate's most representative bottle, made with 100% Sangiovese harvested from the plots immediately adjacent to the landmark Brolio Castle on a mix of soils that includes Macigno del Chianti (sandstone), galestro (schist) and alberese (limestone). It offers a velvety close, some light spice and tart cherry over a velvety finish. It matures in tonneaux for 22 months with 20% new oak

This red is etched with pure, juicy cherry and raspberry fruit, along with mineral, wild herb and sweet spice notes. Elegant, intense and beautifully balanced, leaving a seamless and complex finish.
