Made with 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, this has aromas of violet, red-skinned berry and underbrush. The bright palate offers ripe raspberry, red cherry and a sprinkling of white pepper alongside fine-grained tannins.

The 2015 Chianti Classico Brolio is made with 80% Sangiovese that has been enhanced by 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine ages in barrique and tonneaux for up to nine months. This is a bright and fruit-forward wine that imparts aromas of plump cherry and cassis. With 730,000 bottles made, this is a good value option that should be relatively easy to locate at your nearest wine merchant.
