Description

Grape: 85% Sangiovese and complementary grapes

The family estate Castello di Brolio sits peacefully on a picturesque hill in the Chianti mountains – surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cypresses. It was at this magnificent location in the municipality of Gaiole that Baron Bettino Ricasoli first determined in the late 1860s which grape varieties a Chianti could contain.

Winemaking

In stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 75°-82°F with maceration on the skins for 8/10 days.

Aged in stainless steel tanks.

Food and Wine Pairing Suggestions

This style of Chianti works beautifully with traditional Italian dishes and Mediterranean cuisine.

Ideal pairings

  • Pasta with tomato-based sauces such as ragù or amatriciana
  • Pizza with cured meats or mushrooms
  • Grilled meats including pork chops or lamb
  • Roast chicken with herbs
  • Ossobuco

Other good matches

  • Aubergine parmigiana
  • Mushroom risotto
  • Charcuterie and aged cheeses such as Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano

The wine’s natural acidity complements tomato sauces particularly well, while the savoury notes enhance herbs, grilled meats, and rustic Italian dishes.

Serving tip
Serve at around 16–18°C and open the bottle about 20–30 minutes before serving to allow the aromas to open.
