🍷 La Casa di Bricciano Chianti Classico Riserva 2019 comes from a small, family-run organic estate in the Chianti Classico DOCG zone, where limited production and careful vineyard work emphasize purity, balance and expression of place.

This Riserva typically shows a deep ruby colour with garnet reflections and opens with aromas of ripe red and dark fruit — think cherry and plum — along with spice, earth and herbaceous nuances. With some time in glass or decanter it develops smooth, elegant texture, gentle tannins and a long finish with a touch of mineral and savory complexity, characteristic of traditional Chianti Classico styles.

Food pairing: excellent with tomato-based pastas, grilled red meats, braised dishes and aged cheeses, where its bright acidity and structure complement rich flavours.

🍇 Grape Composition: The Riserva is predominantly Sangiovese with smaller portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the blend — a classic but carefully calibrated combination that adds structure and complexity to the Sangiovese backbone.

🍷 Viticulture & Vinification:

• The estate farms their own organically certified vineyards, with very limited yields and late harvest to optimise ripeness.

• Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo traditional fermentation with skin contact in stainless steel, extracting flavour and texture.

🛢 Aging: The wine is aged for 12–14 months in French oak barriques, which softens tannins and adds subtle spice and structure, followed by extended bottle ageing (minimum 3 years) before release — a signature of Chianti Classico Riserva styles.

🌱 Organic Practices: All vineyard and cellar work is conducted using natural and organic methods (no synthetic inputs), with meticulous attention to grape selection and minimal intervention philosophy.

This combination of local varieties, careful oak aging and organic regime gives the Riserva its depth, balance and refined complexity while still expressing the vibrant fruit and terroir of Gaiole in the Chianti Classico zone.
