Winery · Gaiole in Chianti
Castello di Brolio — Barone Ricasoli
The historic castle where Baron Ricasoli codified the original Chianti recipe. Tour the gardens and cellars, taste flagship Sangiovese, and eat at the estate osteria.
Our verdict
The historic heart of Chianti — the castle where the original recipe was written, with grand gardens and a jaw-dropping panorama. The estate runs slick and can feel touristy, and the osteria is priced for the view. Come for the history and the vista; if you want intimacy, taste somewhere smaller and add Brolio as a monument.
