Ricasoli Casalferro

Intense ruby red in color. Black nuts, vanilla, and spices on the nose. Elegant and velvety tannins ensure a long, persistent and enveloping finish.Casalferro was first produced in 1993  when Francesco Ricasoli became president of the company. A pure Merlot produced only during the best years, Casalferro is obtained from the vineyard of the same name located at 400 meters above sea level and facing south. The brown clay loam soil with little organic content contributes to the exclusive personality of this great Chianti Merlot.94 Points - Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
