Description

*** 91 Points ***

Chianti Classico Colledila is 100% Sangiovese from a single vineyard cru located 380 meters above sea level and characterized by veins of chalky and clay soil. It opens with a bright ruby color and buoyant aromas of forest fruit, wet earth and garden leaf. In fact, those delicate floral-herbal aromas are what ultimately distinguish this expression. Silky tannins give it firmness and lasting momentum.

"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. Only wines from the heart of the Chianti region have the "Classico" appellation. 80% of this blend comprises Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot making up the rest in equal proportions. A meticulous hand selection of grapes goes in to assembling this blend and refined minerality expresses the soil and character of the Brolio region. Aged for 18 months in new oak, this is the pinnacle of the Ricasoli wines.
