Tasting Notes
Bettino is Ricasoli's modern flagship Chianti Classico, named for the Iron Baron Bettino Ricasoli who codified the original Chianti formula. The 2022 vintage shows fresh sour cherry, plum, violet, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is medium-full with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long mineral finish marked by red cherry and tobacco. A textbook Sangiovese expression — 98 Luca Gardini, 93 James Suckling, 93 Wine Spectator.
