Barone Ricasoli Wine Dinner

Compass Room and Steakhouse | Thursday 29 June

Ricasoli is the most representative wine producer in the Chianti Classico area. The history of the Ricasoli family has been linked to wine since 1141, when there is written testimony attesting that the Ricasoli family already possessed Brolio Castle, which is located within the town limits of Gaiole in Chianti. In 1872 Baron Bettino Ricasoli (1809 – 1880) originated the formula for Chianti wine, now called Chianti Classico. Since 1993, the current owner and President, Baron Francesco Ricasoli, has been guiding this central Tuscan company in innovative challenges and generated new ideas and concepts to render the vineyards sustainable. The ongoing study of soil types and the clonal selection of the Brolio Sangiovese are among his greatest passions.

Today, Barone Ricasoli is the largest winery in the Chianti Classico area. Located in the communes of Gaiole and Castelnuovo Berardenga, it
