Description

Discover the legacy woven into every bottle of Ricasoli CeniPrimo Chianti Classico DOCG, a Sangiovese red from Tuscany's storied landscapes. The Ricasoli family has shaped Italian wine heritage since 1141, holding the distinction as Italy's eldest winery and one of the world's most enduring family enterprises.

This ruby-hued gem greets the eye with vibrant clarity. Lift the glass, and an ethereal bouquet unfolds—cherries dance alongside subtle balsamic whispers and a touch of sweet almond. On the palate, it expands with generous volume, revealing tannins that echo the rugged charm of Brolio's ancient river terraces, structured yet inviting.

James Suckling awarded it 97 points, praising the al dente cherry essence laced with citrus peel, vibrant red rose florals, medium-to-full body, and cashmere-soft tannins that deliver a chewy, fresh vibrancy. Wine Spectator's 94 points highlight its focused complexity: cherry and black currant aromas mingled with violet, mineral, and spice notes, drying out with bracing firmness and a mineral-driven close where fruit, earth, and savoriness linger in harmony.

Jeb Dunnuck also bestowed 94 points on this youthful ruby-to-magenta pour, noting layers of cedar, kirsch, fresh leather, candied raspberry, and sweet licorice. It caresses the tongue with refined plushness, velvety poise, balanced freshness, and an extended finale.

At 14% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, this dry Sangiovese expression from Italy's Tuscany region offers a sophisticated choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Priced at $96.49, Ricasoli CeniPrimo Chianti Classico DOCG captures centuries of tradition in a modern, compelling red that elevates any occasion. Whether savoring solo or sharing with kindred spirits, it promises depth and resonance that resonate long after the last sip.
