Barone Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico 2011
Tuscany, ItalyThe best yet from the continuing revamp at Ricasoli. Respect for the floral, red fruit characters of sangiovese give this wine an instant likeability. The textures are supple with perfect tension between acidity and tannin. Elegant but with substance and inviting smoky, black liquorice with cedar, forest floor and plums. A super food wine for chicken, mushrooms, pastas and cheese.Tasted: 06 March 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:AB | $26.00 | 750ml | |
