About this Item
Chianti Classico Riserva 1977
1 (1 x 1) 750ml
Barone Ricasoli is among the oldest family wine estates in the world, with the Ricasoli family at Brolio castle in Gaiole in Chianti since at least the 12th century; it was Bettino Ricasoli, the second Prime Minister of unified Italy, who created the original formula for Chianti in the 1870s that defined the appellation for generations. Francesco Ricasoli, the 32nd Baron, now leads the estate. This 1977 Chianti Classico Riserva is an extraordinary piece of wine history, now approaching half a century of age.
