Press / Wine Critic's Reviews
 
Notes from the Winemaker:
Casalferro is a wine with a modern approach evidencing the Ricasoli Barons’ role as innovators in wine growing. The wine exalts the features of the Sangiovese in combination with Merlot and its long lineage.

Produced in Brolio, Gaiole in Chianti. The grapes come from vineyards set 350 - 400 meters above sea level, mainly from the vineyard of the same name with southwest exposure, with a predominance of calcareous sandstone and Alberese stone.

Deep and intense red colour, this wine offers impressive aromas of red berry forest fruits, pepper and spice. The palate displays both big backbone and enormous elegance, thanks to its long sojourn in bottles. It is full, majestic and harmonious with extraordinary length.

Ratings / Reviews

Wine Spectator Magazine - 92 Points:
"Loads of blackberry and spice character. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Gorgeous. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best after 2009. 4,205 cases made." –JS. Oct. '07

Wine Enthusiast Magazine - 92 Points:
"This blend of Sangiovese and Merlot has found enduring harmony and long-lasting persistency in this vintage. The quality of the aromas is top-notch, with cherry and toast spread equally in balanced competition. It is firm but yielding in the mouth with chewy tannins." - M.L. (4/1/2008)
