The vineyards that produce the grapes for the Brolio label are planted in five geological areas at altitudes between 280 meters and 480 meters, with varying exposures. Vineyard soils vary greatly, but all are strewn with stony fragments that add mineral richness. This enhances the structure of the Chianti Classico vintage. The blend consists of 80 percent Sangiovese, supplemented by 15 percent Merlot and 5 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. After harvest, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with 14 to 16 days of skin contact. Aging takes place in French oak barrels for ten months.
This way, you get only the finest juice in the bottle, with beautiful aromas of cherries, raspberries, and roses, with a light vanilla note in the background. An elegant palate characterized by the necessary liveliness and freshness, with cherries and pleasant acidity. The finish of this Brolio Chianti Classico is slightly firm and has some subtle tannins.
