Here are the tasting notes for the 2023 vintage of Barone Ricasoli Chianti DOCG — a classic Italian red from the historic Ricasoli estate in Tuscany’s Chianti region: �� Appearance Bright ruby-red colour in the glass, typical of a fresh Sangiovese-based Chianti. �� Aroma (Nose) Fresh red fruit aromatics — cherries, wild strawberries and raspberry notes stand out. Subtle herbal/balsamic hints and dried herb undertones add complexity. �� Palate (Taste) Medium-bodied and well balanced, with a juicy core of red and black fruit flavours (fresh cherries and plums). Velvety, approachable tannins give structure without heaviness. A hint of savory dried herbs and balsamic lift keeps the palate engaging. �� Texture & Finish Good length and balance with a clean, fresh finish that keeps the wine lively. Soft tannins and lift make it easy to enjoy slightly chilled or at cellar temperature. ��️ Style & Pairing A classic Chianti DOCG — dry, medium-bodied and versatile at the table. Pairs beautifully with pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled vegetables, mushroom risotto or aged cheeses. Summary: This 2023 Barone Ricasoli Chianti DOCG is an accessible, fruit-forward Tuscan red with bright cherry-driven character, soft tannins, and delicious balance — ideal for everyday drinking and Italian dishes.
