Brolio Chianti Classico Barone Ricasoli 1968
Brolio Chianti Classico fra 1968 er en rødvin skabt af Casa Vinicola Barone Ricasoli, der holder til på Brolio-slottet i de toscanske bakker. Ricasoli-familien har ejet slottet siden 1141, hvilket gør det til verdens ældste vinhus i kontinuerlig drift. Gennem århundrederne har slægten og vingårdene overlevet både middelalderen, renæssancen, Italiens samling og to verdenskrige. Det var desuden her, at Bettino Ricasoli, kendt som 'Jernbaronen' og tidligere italiensk premierminister, i 1872 formulerede den klassiske opskrift på Chianti. Denne formel dannede grundlaget for de officielle DOC-regler helt frem til 1984 og er fundamentet for det moderne Chianti Classico.
Vinen kommer fra Chianti Classico, som udgør Toscanas historiske kerneområde beliggende mellem Firenze og Siena. Området er anerkendt som en af Italiens vigtigste appellationer og bærer sin egen klassifikation, der historisk er kendetegnet ved det sorte hane-symbol. Årgang 1968 i dette område har fået en score på 74 point og beskrives generelt som svag og ujævn. Vinen er klassificeret som Denominazione di Origine Controllata og er aftappet ved oprindelsen i Brolios egne kældre.
Rygraden i denne vin er Sangiovese, som er en italiensk hoveddrue og den absolut bærende sort i Chianti Classico, hvor den ifølge reglerne skal udgøre mindst 80 procent af indholdet. Druen dyrkes primært i regioner som Toscana, Umbrien og Emilia Romagna samt i Californien. Denne specifikke aftapning kommer i en stor flaske på 1,75 liter, hvilket på etiketten fremhæves som en "Misura Chiantigiana" – et traditionelt Chianti-mål. Vinen har et alkoholindhold på 12 procent.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Tuscany
Tuscany is one of Italy's most iconic wine regions, with roots reaching back to the Etruscans. Sangiovese is the undisputed principal grape and forms the basis for classics such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. From the 1970s the prestigious Super Tuscans also emerged along the coast. The rolling hills produce structured red wines with cherry, herbs and firm tannins.
Da denne vin blev lavet, så verden meget anderledes ud. Her er nogle af de historier, der udspillede sig, mens denne flaske stille ældes i sin kælder.
