Barone Ricasoli 2003 Vin Santo Castello di Brolio Malvasia (Chianti)
- $50
This is a gorgeous Vin Santo with richly caramelized flavors and extraordinary smoothness, opulence and persistency. Its modern and round—there are no sharp points here—and absent are those resin or tar-like flavors you sometimes find. Instead this is an absolutely pure expression of caramel delight.

This beautifully extracted wine has aged for 18 months in oak to obtain the level of opulence and sophistication it boasts now. It feels smooth and velvety on the tongue and carries long-lasting flavors of blackberry, allspice, leather, white pepper and coffee.

Barone Ricasoli 2000 Castello di Brolio Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $55
Inky and raw, but in the best way. This is an unbridled, unchained monster of a Chianti, one with impeccable depth and extraction but also one that doesn’t sit on your palate like dead weight. Racy acids and firm tannins work in tandem to prop up the bulky dark fruit, creating a structured, delicious mass. Drink from 2007 through 2015.

Barone Ricasoli 1999 Castello di Brolio Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $45
Smooth and luscious, with a fragrant nose of bold red fruit, polished oak and earth. The palate comes together with rich cherry and berry fruit, toast, coffee and tannin. The finish is rich, smoky and long, with a delightful texture. Quite the showpiece wine, courtesy of extra-ripe fruit and 18 months in oak.

Barone Ricasoli 2001 Casalferro Red (Toscana)
- $50
Here’s a look at an older vintage of Casalferro (Sangiovese and Merlot) that showcases the aging potential of this super Tuscan blend. Ripe fruit and spice is backed by ethereal tones of cola, licorice, herbs and resin. The mouthfeel is characterized by dusty tannins and a crisp close.
