Barone Ricasoli

Steeped in nearly a thousand years of history, Barone Ricasoli is the undisputed founding father of Chianti Classico. Based at the breathtaking Brolio Castle in Gaiole in Chianti, the Ricasoli family's legacy is woven into the very fabric of Tuscany — it was here in 1872 that the "Iron Baron" Bettino Ricasoli famously penned the original formula for the Chianti wine blend.

Today, the monumental 1,200-hectare estate seamlessly marries its centuries-old aristocratic tradition with contemporary viticultural excellence. Through rigorous research and sustainability, Ricasoli continues to produce profound, terroir-driven Sangiovese that serves as the benchmark for Chianti Classico.
