Barone Ricasoli

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.

Unfortunately shy and closed in the beginning it reveals aromas of sweet dark cherries, violet, red currant, herbs and licorice with typical Chianti flavors. Fresh, focused and medium-bodied on the palate. Delicate and elegant with a refreshing acidity and very fine-grained tannins. Good finish. It´s not a monument bit rather a well-structured wines.

Barone Ricasoli with Francesco Ricasoli #007

Inspired by the French wine philosophy, the Tuscan winery Barone Ricasoli has launched three crus: wines made from high quality single layers, each characterized by their unique “terroir”.
The Castello di Brolio, Colledilà and Casalferro wines are the result of a long development that started in 1993 when Francesco Barone Ricasoli “bought back” the winery at the traditional Castello di Brolio, after it was temporarily lost to international beverage companies and quality did not enjoy the highest priority.
Ricasoli immediately initiated an ambitious restructuring: the quality bar was raised many times, new vineyards were planted, and a scientifically sound program for the selection and propagation of the best old Sangiovese vines was started. Ricasoli: “These old Sangiovese vines were an unheard of treasure.”
The research program at Brolio also includes the analysis of the individual vineyard sites – totaling 250 hectares – and their soils. Something that hardly plays a role in the Chianti area today. Ricasoli: “We want to better understand our vineyards and the influence of the soil on the wine in order to further improve the quality and avoid mistakes on the way from the grape to the bottle.”
Castello di Brolio, sometimes referred to as the “Château Lafite of Italy”, can look back on a 900-year tradition as a winery: the “formula” for Chianti with Sangiovese as the main grape variety of Bettino Ricasoli, an ancestor of today’s barons, ” invented”. Francesco Ricasoli: “With our three crus we want to follow this old tradition.” (February 27. 2011)

On Barone Ricasoli of Chianti Classico

The recipe for Chianti Classico originated with Bettino Ricasoli at Castello di Brolio in Tuscany. Sean O'Callaghan of Riecine provides a brief introduction and history. The recipe for Chianti includes white and red grapes as the original Barone Ricasoli used grapes from a variety of surrounding fields and sources.

In a video from a few years before, Sean expounded on the original blend and the history of the region:

Castello di Brolio - Barone Ricasoli

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. Hier war es auch, dass man ein erstes Mal festlegte, welche Rebsorten ein Chianti denn enthalten darf. Große Geschichte also. Unser Video-Experte Piero hat den Zauber dieses Weingutes in einmaligen Bildern festgehalten.

Barone RICASOLI, Cantine del Castello di Brolio (Siena)

PRECISAZIONE IMPORTANTE: L'ACRONIMO A.I.C. ACCANTO AL NOME DEL REALIZZATORE E/O REGISTA, SIGNIFICA “Accademia Italiana dI Cinematografia” DA NON CONFONDERSI CON ALTRE DI DIVERSO SIGNIFICATO.
Fu il Barone Bettino Ricasoli (1809 -- 1880), illustre politico ma soprattutto ricercatore ed imprenditore vitivinicolo di grande lungimiranza, il fautore del vino oggi più famoso nel mondo: il Chianti. Bettino Ricasoli, detto il Barone di ferro, appena ventenne, cominciò a Brolio le sue ricerche e sperimentazioni, con l'obiettivo di produrre in Chianti un vino di alta qualità, capace di competere a livello internazionale con i grandi vini francesi, all'epoca protagonisti indiscussi. Bettino Ricasoli compì questa missione con la consapevolezza delle potenzialità del terroir di Brolio unita alla fiducia nei progressi tecnologici e nella scienza applicata ai processi di vinificazione. Alla ricerca del vino perfetto, l'impegno di Bettino Ricasoli fu l'origine dello sviluppo della vitivinicoltura in Chianti, secondo moderni principi di organizzazione economica ed agricola. Il Barone diede impulso allo sviluppo di strade e ferrovie ed operò, con grande spirito progressista per quei tempi, al fine di educare e coinvolgere fattori e mezzadri in una filosofia di produzione volta alla qualità. Nel 1867 il vino di Brolio ottenne la prima medaglia d'oro all'Esposizione internazionale di Parigi. Bettino Ricasoli viaggiò, visitò cantine, trasferì in Chianti conoscenze e strumenti all'avanguardia, coinvolse nella sua missione ricercatori e studiosi illustri dell'epoca, fu anche saggio e lungimirante uomo di marketing nel prendersi cura degli aspetti di commercializzazione e posizionamento dei vini di Brolio sui mercati internazionali. Il suo impegno sul fronte dello sviluppo economico del Chianti, si intreccia con la sua storia di uomo politico protagonista del Risorgimento, Primo Ministro nell'Italia unita del dopo Cavour. La sua determinatezza ha dato corso a quello che può essere definito anche risorgimento della vitivinicoltura italiana. Ricasoli è un nome legato al vino dal 1141, anno in cui il Castello di Brolio entrò in possesso dei Ricasoli.

Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Brolio DOCG 2005

Da un'annata considerata non entusiasmante ecco un ottimo Chianti Classico con tutte le caratteristiche che normalmente speriamo di trovare in un Chianti come una buona acidità, una bella asciuttezza di bocca e un bel profumo floreale di viola e giaggiolo in apertura. Nonostante i 12 mesi di barrique (di secondo o terzo passaggio) il vino ha proprio nel mix floreale fruttato la sua carta vincente con un gusto morbido (almeno per un palato Toscano) che sacrifica un pò di aggressività tannica in favore di una maggiore bevibilità. In sala è piaciuto a tutti, pur riconoscendone il carattere un pò più facile di beva rispetto ad altri Chianti Classico più aggressivi e tradizionalisti. Ma da quando in qua è un problema così grande che un vino si beva con tanta facilità?!?

Chianti Classico Wine & the Black Rooster Facts you NEED to know!

The black rooster inspired me to revisit the wines from Tuscany, Italy. More specifically Chianti Classico. In this video we are opening a Brolio Chianti Classico 2016 from Barone Ricasoli, a entry level wine from this legendary vineyard.

As I mentioned in the video, I am not a big Sangiovese drinker myself. As I have encountered a lot of uninteresting wines made from this grape. This video is a push for myself to try to step deeper into the water, to hopefully come out with a different view.

With that said, I have had some great wines from both Antinori and Vignamaggio. Also a few Brunello di Montalcino. Not in love with the style. But at least I can differentiate by qualities.
