RicasoliÆs 2008 Chianti Classico Brolio is an attractive red loaded with dark cherries, plums, smoke and spices. Firm tannins round out the powerful finish. This is a fairly hearty, rich style of Chianti that can be enjoyed today or cellared for at least a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018.

A round, fruity red, with licorice and blueberry aromas and flavors. Full and deliciously fruity, this is slightly hollow midpalate. Drink now. 60,900 cases made. ûJS
