Barone Ricasoli...
Today, the company is comprised of more than 2,400 acres, northwest of Siena, one of the older more southern parts of the Chianti Classico region. Fifty acres of which are olive groves as well as a section of forest where chestnut wood is grown and used in the vineyards throughout the estate.

For ten consecutive centuries, the property and the
management of Brolio has always been maintained by the Ricasoli
family, except for a brief period at the beginning of the
seventies until 1993, in which the business was managed by
outside companies. In 1993, Francesco Ricasoli took over control
of his family's business and embarked on his project of the
complete renovation of the entire estate.
Large investments were made to restore the land and its original grape
varieties (that have been in the estate for centuries) as well as for the
winemaking facilities and cellars. The 500 acres of vineyards, all of which are
located around the castle, have been completely replanted with two objectives:
to reconstruct the personality of each vineyard according to ancient traditions
and pursue the continuous role of producing excellent wine, which began in the
19th century, while incorporating a modern element.
An
intense, concentrated, typical wine that fully embodies the Brolio
terroir in its marked minerality. The 2006 offers very clear aromas
of wild berry fruits and blackberry that characterise every vintage.
A
wine of great character and personality. It displays complex,
embracing texture and marked elegance that is enhanced by perfect
balance. The colour is deep, bright ruby red.
Campo
Ceni was created to complete the stylistic approach of which
Casalferro and Torricella are important representatives. It is a
relatively young wine whose quality and pleasantness come from the
freshness of its fruit.
In years past, Rocca
Guicciarda was one of the Baroni Ricasoli’s most important estates.
Today, it is the name of the estate’s Chianti Classico Riserva, a
traditional wine exhibiting austere character and complex, balanced
drinkability. The Rocca Guicciarda offers an interpretation of the
Chianti Classico that conjures up all the aromas and sensations of
the territory.
Casalferro
is a wine with a modern approach evidencing the Ricasoli Barons’
role as innovators in wine growing. The wine exalts the features of
the Sangiovese in combination with Merlot and its long lineage.
