038 Barone Ricasoli
It’s not a dream… Be guest at the Castle of the noble family that CREATED the original “recipe” of CHIANTI. Enter the walls of the Castle and visit the Ricasoli private residence. The ghost of Rt. Hon. Bettino “Iron Baron” Ricasoli awaits to drink with you in the Hall of Arms.
This is a very particular and exclusive tour that includes a visit inside the Castle of Brolio, in the part that is the current residence of the Baroni Ricasoli family, NOT usually open for guests.
The vertical tasting (IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy elsewhere) of 3 historic vintages of Chianti Classico Castello di Brolio OR 3 historic vintages of Casalferro (both Wine Spectator TOP 100) takes place inside the historic and spectacular Hall of Arms.
LOCATION:
“Castello di Brolio” Castle & Winery: Gaiole in Chianti (Siena).
Southern Chianti Classico area
STYLE OF EXPERIENCE:
RARE WINES – Chianti Classico & Supertuscans
DURATION:
Duration on-site (hours. ±1): 4
The history of the Ricasoli family has been linked to wine since 1141, when there is written testimony attesting that the Ricasoli family already possessed Brolio Castle.
In fact, the family tree, reproduced in a print from 1584, is one of the first images of the Chianti area.

The ORIGINAL RECIPE of CHIANTI WINE, written by Rt. Hon. Baron Bettino Ricasoli in 1872:
“Mi confermai nei risultati ottenuti già nelle prime esperienze cioè che il vino riceve dal Sangioveto la dose principale del suo profumo (a cui io miro particolarmente) e una certa vigoria di sensazione; dal Canajuolo l’amabilità che tempera la durezza del primo, senza togliergli nulla del suo profumo per esserne pur esso dotato; la Malvagia, della quale si potrebbe fare a meno nei vini destinati all’invecchiamento, tende a diluire il prodotto delle due prime uve, ne accresce il sapore e lo rende più leggero e più prontamente adoperabile all’uso della tavola quotidiana…”
