The classic from the heart of Chianti Classico: Brolio combines the excellent drinkability of a young Chianti Classico with a complex, complete structure. The vineyards grow on the historic Castello di Brolio between 280 and 480 metres above sea level on five representative soil types – from sandstone to galestro and marine sediments. Intense ruby red colour. Fresh, floral nose with notes of chinotto, violets and mimosa, leading to fruity nuances of black cherries and sweet mint. Velvety and complex on the palate with great harmony, elegant structure and a long, mineral final. A textbook Chianti Classico from a historic terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium-intensity, warm red; ripe fruit, a hint of coffee, arouses curiosity; sweetness, plump and round, good depth, good length, appealing." Merum

"Light cherry red with a touch of purple. The nose opens discreetly to sour cherry and blood orange, with some leather behind it. Medium-bodied, acid-accentuated palate with silky tannins, sour cherry retronasal. Successful finish." Falstaff

"The nose has spicy, toasty notes of mixed herbs, sweet tobacco, cedar and ground coffee, while the palate gets a burst of energy with wild cherries, wild strawberries and blood oranges before returning to earthy tones. Firm tannins balance the lively acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2023 Brolio Chianti Classico is a tasty entry-level wine. Aromatic, fruity and light-footed, the 2023 is a delight. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry fruit, orange peel and cedar wood characterise this refreshing Chianti Classico." Vinous

"Lively and floral on the nose, with cherries, rosehips and pomegranates. Crisp on the palate, with a dusty texture and a red-fruity centre. Pure, energetic and very accessible." James Suckling

"This lively red wine combines flavours of cherry, raspberry and rosehip with earth and iron as well as a hint of eucalyptus and wild herbs. It is tangy and balanced and finishes with a delicious impression." Wine Spectator
