Ricasoli is the most representative winery of the Chianti Classico area. Among soft hills, velvety valleys and dense forests of oaks and chestnuts, the 1200 hectares of property include about 240 vineyards and 26 cultivated with olive trees, in a continuous succession of colors and shades around the Castle of Brolio, in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti.
In this most central part of Tuscany, since 1993, Francesco Ricasoli has been leading the company towards new challenges, with the deepest respect for his illustrious ancestors who have made that same territory great, first of all Bettino Ricasoli.
By the will of Francesco Ricasoli, current owner and President, new ideas and new concepts are born to live the vineyards in a sustainable way: the continuous study of the soils and the clonal selection of Sangiovese di Brolio are among his greatest passions, so much so that he wanted to totally renew the vineyards and define the complete mapping of the same.
The new labels are, therefore, the expression of the many research conducted with the same scientific rigor of the great ancestor but with the contemporary spirit of those who take the baton and carry it forward with new energy.
