Das Weingut der Barone Ricasoli gehört zu den ganz großen Klassikern der Region. Das Bild des Schlosses, das die Florentiner einst zum Schutze gegen ihren Erbfeind, die Sienesen, errichtet haben, kennt jeder Toskana-Freund.

Barone Ricasoli. Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva 2011 #103
Castello di Brolio is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees – on a picturesque hill in the Chianti Mountains. Baron Bettino Ricasoli, for the first time in the late 1860s, decided on what grape varieties a Chianti may contain in this splendid spot in the municipality of Gaiole. Inspired by the French wine philosophy, Castello di Brolio, one of the oldest wineries in the world, has brought three particularly fine wines to the market.
The main wine of the house – Chianti Classico Castello di Brolio, Merlot “Casalferro” and Chianti Classico Colledilà.
The fine wines are the result of a development that began back in 1993 when Francesco Barone Ricasoli took over the winery. He immediately launched an ambitious quality offensive: new vineyards were planted, and a scientifically substantiated program for the selection and propagation of the best ancient Sangiovese clones was set in motion. The youngest member of the famous aristocratic family also analyzed the individual layers – a total of about 250 hectares of vineyards on 1,200 hectares of land – to better understand the characteristics of the vineyards and the influence of the soil on the wine and avoid mistakes on the way from the grape to the bottle to be able to.

Forbes named it number one in its list of Europe's Most Idyllic Places To Live. Each year in March, a professional bicycle race is held, known as Strade Bianche in reference to the white gravel roads of the Sienna region.

The city of Gaiole in Chianti is another important city within the Chianti Classico region, located along the river Massellone and on the road connecting Chianti to Valdarno. The entire Chianti area has proven to be rich in artifacts from ancient people’s making it their home, and Gaiole is no different, even the local hamlets have names that bear witness to the passage of these populations.
Thanks to the position at the base of the valley, Gaiole has always played an important role as a “market center” for the castles and towns nearby. Characterized by a position that is surrounded by steep hills and narrow valleys, the area is predominantly comprised of forests abundant with oaks, vineyards and olive groves. Once a town busy with local traffic, after the end of the struggle between Florence and Siena the area turned more towards agriculture reinforcing its position as a market town. Since it was a marketplace, it never had the need for defensive walls such as those in Radda in Chianti. Thus the constant battles between Florence and Siena probably explains why the center was destroyed and rebuilt many times; which in turn explains why very few buildings which have been preserved from the past.

Il SEGRETO del CHIANTI! - Castello di Brolio, Barone Ricasoli -
Alla scoperta del Chianti, delle sue origini, dei segreti di questo vino conosciuto in tutto il mondo.
Il nostro fidato enologo Andrea Gliori ci ha guidato in questa avventura bucolica nelle cantine del Barone Ricasoli.
Fu proprio Bettino Ricasoli, politico e primo ministro del Regno d'Italia a indicare il disciplinare del Chianti classico.
Una leggenda locale vuole che nelle notti di luna piena, nelle campagne attorno al castello di Brolio, si aggiri ancora il fantasma del Barone, a cavallo e avvolto in un mantello nero.
