Le baron Bettino Ricasoli n’était pas seulement le Premier ministre et l’homme d’État italien, mais aussi celui qui a rédigé en 1872 la formule idéale du Chianti, devenue célèbre. Ses descendants lui rendent hommage avec ce Chianti Classico authentique, classique et intemporel. Un délice !

A lively wine that’s tense and youthful. Vibrant nose of potpourri, prunes and orange peel. Fresh and crunchy on the palate, with firm, chalky tannins, good suppleness, a medium body and a very savory licorice finish. Drink or hold.

The mid-weight Barone Ricasoli 2022 Chianti Classico Brolio-Bettino is 100% Sangiovese that faithfully respects the personality of the vintage. This was a warm and sunny growing season that delivered mature fruit flavors and a pretty sense of directness or focus. This wine ages in large oak for 18 months, and fruit comes from various sites with sandstone, schist, limestone and marine deposit with silt and clay. This is a classic expression of Sangiovese that never colors outside the lines. Production is 30,000 bottles.

Smoky cherry, plum, wild herbs and graphite aromas and flavors highlight this graceful red. There’s no shortage of structure, giving this potential for aging. Fine balance and length. Best from 2026 through 2038. 2,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.

« Adagio » est l’un des plus anciens termes de tempo dans la musique classique et signifie « calme », « confortable » ou « reposant ». C’est également le principe de ce Brunello di Montalcino, qui a été vinifié en toute tranquillité et de manière traditionnelle et qui offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

The nose pops with the tang of bing cherry, cranberry, hibiscus, blood orange and new leather. Those notes all continue on the palate, before a warm, spicy finish where polished, smooth tannins anchor a river of acid.

The 2023 Chianti Classico Bramosia offers up ripe red cherry, kirsch, mint, cinnamon, orange peel and a kiss of sweet oak. Racy and aromatic, the Bramosia is another wine in this range that is ready to deliver pleasure. The overt style works quite well here.

En règle générale, Bolgheri est une région dont les vins coûtent chers, certains parmi eux étant de véritables vedettes de l’œnologie italienne. C’est donc un vrai plaisir de découvrir une exploitation familiale aussi authentique que celle des Micheletti, qui produit un 'Bolgheri Rosso' que l’on peut déguster même lors d’occasions tout à fait normales.

Sliced peaches complemented by red fruit, bright and vivid on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with red-fruit character and fine-grained tannins that become rounded toward the vibrant finish. Drink now.

Also based on the estate’s youngest Sangiovese and raised for several months in large oak casks, the 2023 Brio is a touch more inward today and benefits from a bit of air. The nose reveals ripe cherries, mocha, pressed flowers, and mossy earth, with a slightly sweeter impression of fruit than the 2024. Medium-bodied, it has vibrant acidity, ripe tannins, and a supple texture that turns more savory through the finish. Drink this over the next 8-10 years. Drink 2026-2036.

Layered and restrained, showing fresh raspberries, cherry pits and subtle violets. Light-bodied with expertly crafted tannins, chewy long acidity and good concentration. A serious Rosso, persistent and well-made. Drink or hold.
