The Sangiovese grape gives the wine its strength, vibrancy, and acidity. The grapes are grown under the best conditions in the Chianti region. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful wine regions in Europe.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Manual harvest for this Chianti\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The grapes are harvested by hand. After gentle pressing, the juice is partially aged in oak barrels. This gives the aroma impressions of small red and black fruit with just the right dose of spices like pepper, cinnamon, and mint. The palate of this Barone Ricasoli Chianti is exquisite, soft and round with abundant fruit such as blackberry, cherry, and berry. On the palate, nuances of spice, vanilla, and licorice remain. But for this price point, it's a real treat!","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775774625871,"sku":"8285","price":11.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/barone-ricasoli-chianti_8285.webp?v=1770110765"},{"product_id":"barone-ricasoli-albia-bianco","title":"Barone Ricasoli Albia Bianco","description":"This new wine from Barone Ricasoli is a beautiful blend of the finest grape varieties from the Tuscany region. This white Albia Bianco is made from Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Malvasia grapes, which complement each other perfectly. The vineyards are ideally situated, resulting in a top-notch wine, as we can best describe this Italian wine. After years of experimenting with grape varieties, Albia is currently one of the most beloved white wines from Tuscany. The vineyards are situated in a somewhat cooler climate, allowing the grapes to retain more freshness during ripening. The coolness of the vineyards comes from the wind blowing through them and the slightly cooler nights. This allows for a steady and relatively calm ripening process, allowing the grapes to absorb all the richness of the soil.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Completely manual harvest for the white Albia Ricasoli\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the grapes have reached their ideal ripeness, the manual harvest begins. The bunches are gathered entirely by hand and individually inspected to extract the finest juice. Initially, each grape is harvested individually and fermented in steel vats, after which the Ricasoli winemaker creates the blend for this white Albia. Leave it to him, as he knows every grape variety in the region and knows exactly what to do. The result is astonishing, and we consider this white wine a fantastic new addition to our range.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of Ricasoli's white Albia wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n On the nose, this white Albia offers hints of peaches, passion fruit, and a touch of nuts and orange blossom.

Colledilà revolves around a single vineyard in Gaiole in Chianti, planted with Sangiovese, specially selected to showcase the pure power and finesse of Brolio. What makes Barone Ricasoli Colledilà 2021 so special? It's a 100% Sangiovese from a chalky, prime vineyard, aged for 22 months in tonneaux, considered one of the flagship wines of Chianti Classico and acclaimed by the international press.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"771\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003e The grapes come from Italy: from Tuscany, from Chianti Classico around Gaiole, and from the Colledilà vineyard on the Castello di Brolio estate. The vines here are planted on clay-limestone soils with a high proportion of limestone, a soil type that Ricasoli himself describes as one of the most representative of Chianti Classico and that gives Sangiovese tension, depth, and a distinct mineral signature. The vineyard is situated on the hills surrounding the castle, where the days are warm but the nights are noticeably cooler, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The Ricasoli family has worked in these hills for nearly nine centuries and has, in recent decades, intensively researched the various Sangiovese clones and soils around Brolio, with Colledilà being one of the crus where that work is most clearly reflected in the bottle.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"2131\"\u003eThe 2021 growing season was particularly challenging in Chianti Classico. A late frost in April, followed by a dry summer, resulted in small but highly concentrated bunches and early grape ripening. Thanks to the experience with this vineyard and the water management of the chalky soils, Ricasoli managed to harvest perfectly ripe Sangiovese with abundant color, tension, and aromatic intensity, which is immediately evident in the wine's depth.\u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2133\" data-end=\"2160\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2162\" data-end=\"2702\"\u003eIn the cellar, the bunches are destemmed, after which the grapes are gravity-fed into 100-hectoliter stainless steel conical tanks. There, they are inoculated with selected yeasts, and alcoholic fermentation begins at 24 to 27°C, with daily pigeage, during which the skins are gently pressed to extract color, aroma, and fine tannins.
