Ricasoli 1141 'Brolio' Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 Review
Coming from Gaiole in Chianti, one of the original Classico hamlets, the Ricasoli family, has had a presence here in the hills since the 11th century. Its legacy lives on this very approachable, full-bodied wine. It has dense yet bright sour cherry aromas on the nose. The palate is well-balanced between tart fruit and acidity.
