We first met Maria and tasted through Ricasoli’s wines last year, and were thoroughly impressed. We’re therefore delighted to be able to host this tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ricasoli name has been at the heart of Chianti for centuries, with Baron Bettino Ricasoli playing a pioneering role in shaping modern Chianti. At Castello di Brolio, his 19th-century experiments led to the famous 1872 formula for Chianti, placing Sangiovese at its heart. More than a century later, his great-grandson Francesco continued that work, studying the different soils and sites across the Brolio estate, selecting the best Sangiovese clones and helping to shape Gran Selezione, Chianti Classico’s highest quality tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tasting offers a chance to taste through the estate, from its fresh 2024 Chardonnay through to a trio of outstanding 2020 Gran Selezione wines that show the different characters of individual vineyard sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ll begin with the 2024 Ricasoli Lutelia Chardonnay, Toscana IGT, before moving through the 2022 Feudo Toscana, the classic 2023 Brolio Chianti Classico and 2022 Brolio Riserva. We’ll then explore Ricasoli’s top single-vineyard wines with the 2020 CeniPrimo, Roncicone and Colledilà Gran Seleziones, finishing with the beautifully mature 2015 Castello di Brolio Vin Santo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the pioneering work of Bettino Ricasoli to today's detailed exploration of the vineyards of Brolio, this is a tasting that brings together history, terroir and some of the finest expressions of Sangiovese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll gather around large tables and start the evening with an aperitif, then settle in for the tasting. Good wine deserves good food — so we’ll be serving generous Italian artisan cheese and charcuterie boards alongside the tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tasting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAperitif:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024 Ricasoli Lutelia Chardonnay, Toscana IGT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2022 Ricasoli Feudo, Toscana\u003cbr\u003e2023 Ricasoli Brolio, Chianti Classico\u003cbr\u003e2022 Ricasoli Brolio Riserva, Chianti Classico\u003cbr\u003e2020 Ricasoli CeniPrimo, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione\u003cbr\u003e2020 Ricasoli Roncicone, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione\u003cbr\u003e2020 Ricasoli Colledilà, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione\u003cbr\u003e2015 Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Vin Santo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe reserve the right to substitute wines with those of similar quality.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Harrogate Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55641226871160,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/2354\/9604\/files\/ricasoli-chianti-classico-4.jpg?v=1787750471","url":"https:\/\/www.harrogatefinewinecompany.com\/products\/chianti-classico-wines-of-ricasoli-masterclass-thursday-1-october-7pm-9pm","provider":"Harrogate Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
