2015 Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, March 2018

“This robust red is 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It opens with aromas of black currant, cedar and a hint of violet while the firmly structured palate offers dried black cherry, vanilla, licorice and a touch of mocha. Assertive but polished tannins provide support.”

2015 Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico DOCG

Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2018

“The 2015 Chianti Classico Brolio is a very pretty, gracious wine with lovely fruit purity and terrific balance. Sweet raspberry and floral notes give the wine freshness and aromatic lift. Soft, open-knit and silky, the 2015 has much to offer. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather later. Dollops of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon complement the Sangiovese nicely.”

2014 Donnafugata Tancredi

James Suckling, James Suckling, October 2018

“Clove, vanilla and dust character comes through on the nose, but there’s plenty of underbrush, pine needles and brambleberries to counter that. The palate shows a structured, tannin backbone that’s quite chewy, and the dark fruit flavors roll over spicy components to the medium-long finish. Drink in 2020.”

Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, September 2018

“Forest floor, scorched earth, grilled herb and oak driven spice aromas come to the forefront along with mature dark-skinned berry. The juicy medium bodied palate delivers cassis, mature plum, toast and star anise framed in taut fine-grained tannins.”
