Vineyard and terroir
The Chardonnay, Malvasia Bianca and Sauvignon Blanc are grown under the hot Tuscan sun on a site with alluvial soils.

Vinification
The grapes were harvested in September. Vinification began with a short cold maceration on the skins. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature of 12–16 °C, which preserved the aroma and fruity character.
Ageing
The wine aged for 3 months in steel tanks.
Tasting profile
Fresh on the palate, with a delicate aroma and a juicy, light style. Very balanced and elegant, with pronounced minerality that reflects its terroir.
Serving and pairing
Serve chilled, as an aperitif or with appetizers and elegant dishes such as caviar, foie gras, grilled shrimp, oysters and lobster.

Label / history
The Ricasoli family has owned Castello di Brolio since 1141. By the end of the 1600s it had begun exporting to Amsterdam and England, and since the early 1900s Brolio wines have been exported worldwide. Baron Bettino Ricasoli (1809–1880), known as the Iron Baron, spent more than 30 years researching and experimenting to produce high-quality Chianti wines. In 1867 a Ricasoli wine won its first Gold Medal at the International Exhibition in Paris. Francesco Ricasoli, his great-grandson, has managed the company since 1993. The estate today has 240 ha of vineyards and 26 ha of olive groves in Chianti.
