Brolio successfully matches the superior drinkability that defines Chianti Classico in its young version with a full, complex structure, which makes this wine excellent in its category.

PRODUCTION AREA
Gaiole in Chianti

The company’s vines, which rise from 280 to 480 meters above sea level, produce the grapes for the Brolio harvest. The lands vary much from one another, while sharing a gravelly composition.

The total absence of freezing weather during winter, an ideal amount of rain during the spring followed by a sudden rise in temperatures stimulated budding in some zones as early as the first weeks of April and perfect maturation. A hot summer with fairly fresh nights (with a range from 35°C during the day to 18-20°C at night) and scarce but well-distributed rains led to a markedly homogeneous and early ripening of the grapes.We can therefore include this vintage among the best of recent years. A meticulous choice of the buds, the care of the plants and soils, careful pruning of the bunches and rigorous analyses of the grapes led to harvesting at the right levels of sugars and phenols, thus guaranteeing excellent grapes, ready to be vinified.

Typical, perfect expression of the Brolio terroir with its mineral nuance and intensity. Recalls mature fruits like black cherries and blackberries on the nose, with hints of chocolate. Full, round and structured on the palate, with toasty hints and sweet tannins. Lingering and very pleasant finish.
