DESCRIPTION
Castello di Brolio is created from a meticulous selection of the best Sangiovese and Abrusco grapes from the estate’s vineyards, spread over 240 hectares of land. The production of each vintage may thus vary in quantity, but quality is always outstanding. The vineyards are at 400 to 500 meters above sea level, facing south/south-west. The perfect exposure and excellent elevation of the land as well as the very stony soil are responsible for the typicality of this wine.
TASTING NOTES
Ruby red color with slight garnet hues. Red fruits on the nose, violet floral hints and light toasted scents. Soft at first taste, then large and voluminous. The balanced acidity and tannin give this grand vin a considerably persistent and harmonious finish.
