This year, spring has returned, overwhelming us with its colors and bursting with beauty and scents. When confronted by the magical spectacle of the rebirth of nature, the desire for trips to the countryside and new discoveries grows in everyone. For those who come to Brolio in search of nature and beauty, stopping off at the Osteria di Brolio is the perfect break. It is a haven for those who love good food, as it nestles amid the greenery on the slopes of the Castle, and is now surrounded by the spring splendor of Chianti Classico.

Open until November for lunch and dinner every day except Thursday, whilst enjoying its elegant and informal atmosphere you can sample the ever-changing range of dishes suggested by Chef Franco Sangiacomo, making it a new experience each time you go there. The keywords are: quality, research and region, all in combination with the great wines of Ricasoli. By carefully researching the best local ingredients which helps the short supply chain and by using seasonal products, including those from the Brolio vegetable garden, space and voice is given to the most authentic flavors of Chianti Classico and Tuscany, reinterpreted in a contemporary key. The Chef and his team offer dishes that leave their mark, always accompanied by the utmost professionalism and courtesy in the dining room.

The Chef’s proposed tasting menu was immediately confirmed, designed for all those who decide to rely on his creativity in a four-course voyage of discovery: a culinary journey that unveils new and surprising tastes at every stage.
