Barone Ricasoli Colledila Chianti Classico

The Barone Ricasoli Colledila Chianti Classico comes from the production area of Gaiole in Chianti. "Colledilà" - the land which has been part of the Brolio estate for centuries - is the cru of this Chianti Classico DOCG that stands out due to its complex structure and great modern elegance. The research on original clones that has been carried out at Barone Ricasoli for the last fifteen years, and the work on the specific characteristics of the various plots of land on the estate have now given rise to a single varietal Sangiovese which manifests the magnificent and unique attributes of this grape variety. The limited volumes of the Colledilà cru render it all the more exclusive. The actual vineyard is situated at an elevation of 380 metres facing South West in one of the most beautiful parts of the estate which is well drained due to the soil structure-brown soil with a fine clay structure, chalky components and stony surface.

Tasting Notes

The Barone Ricasoli Colledila Chianti Classico which is 100% sangiovese has intense aromas of ripe red fruit overlaid with toasted notes and spice. This very fine elegant but substantial wine is full in the mouth with developing sweet tannins, combined with ripe intense fruit, spice, hints of vanilla and fresh but balanced acidity. Elegant and well structured the flavours go onto a medium plus dry complex finish with hints of spice. 04.03.11
