The Chianti Classico Brolio di Barone Ricasoli comes from 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown on the company estate in Gaiole in Chianti (SI). The vineyards here have roots in soils of heterogeneous nature, very rich in stony elements, at an altitude ranging from 280 to 480 meters above sea level. During the red winemaking process, alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24-27°C with must maceration on the skins for 14-16 days. The aging process lasted 9 months in barriques and tonneaux.
