Grappa Riserva - Castello di Brolio

Ricasoli is one of Tuscany’s great historic estates, based at Castello di Brolio in the heart of Chianti Classico. Its history dates back to 1141 and is closely intertwined with the development of Tuscan viticulture. Today, the Ricasoli family continues this heritage by combining tradition, precision and a strong sense of terroir across both its wines and speciality products.

Castello di Brolio Grappa Riserva is produced from the pomace of Chianti Classico grapes used to make Castello di Brolio, the estate’s flagship wine. The grape skins and seeds are distilled by Bonollo Distilleries using the traditional batch method known as “a caldaietta”, in which the pomace is slowly heated with steam in order to preserve the original character of the grapes.

The distillate is then matured for at least 18 months in Slavonian oak casks, giving the grappa its amber colour, aromatic complexity and delicate oak nuances. The 2021 production was limited to 3,000 bottles of 50 cl.
