Brolio Vinsanto 2015

Ricasoli is one of Tuscany’s great historic estates, based at Castello di Brolio in the heart of Chianti Classico. Its history dates back to 1141 and is closely intertwined with the development of Tuscan viticulture. Today, the Ricasoli family continues this heritage by combining tradition, precision and a strong sense of terroir.

Castello di Brolio Vin Santo is a Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC made from Malvasia, Trebbiano and Sangiovese. In keeping with Tuscan tradition, the grapes are harvested late, once they have reached sufficient sugar concentration, then hung and left to partially dry for several months. The must obtained from gentle pressing ferments slowly before undergoing exceptionally long maturation in small oak casks.

Appearance: Intense amber yellow.

Nose: Floral aromas with notes of dates and dried fruit.

Palate: Soft, enveloping and warm, with generous richness and a long finish that echoes the aromas perceived on the nose.

Food Pairing: Excellent with cantucci, dried-fruit desserts, pastries, mature cheeses or simply enjoyed on its own after a meal
