Natalie's Score: 95/100

From the Tuscany wine region, Barone Ricasoli Castello di Brolio 2016 Gran Selezione Chianti Classico is a medium-bodied and fresh Chianti produced from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes from estate vineyards. The vineyards are 250 to 450 metres above sea level with a south to southwest exposure allowing the grapes to slowly, evenly and fully ripen. Look for bright cherry, dark berry, cranberry, orange zest, savoury herbs and mochanilla flavours on the palate finishing long ans on a mineral note. Good now, better in a few years. Try in 2024.

Chianti Classico food pairings: roast goose, black bean soup, pork with soy, pot roast.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
