Brolio Castle, located in Gaiole in Chianti, bears the signs of the most diverse eras of which it is a witness: from the medieval bastions, to the Romanesque, neo-Gothic theme, up to the Tuscan nineteenth century.

It is currently managed by the Ricasoli farm, which thanks to the surrounding land, has masterfully produced wine and oil for hundreds of years. The building can be visited and, by consulting the website, it is possible to find different types of tours and tastings.

Castello di Brolio claims to be the birthplace of Chianti Classico. Owned by the Barons Ricasoli since the 12th century, it has been a bulwark between Siena and Florence, today a large winery and stop on the "Eroica", an epic cycle race over 230km and over 3000m with start and finish in Gaiole.. We only have "Done" 27km of it. Brolio and his story is impressive..

Beautiful place, and both descent and climb are of good strade bianche quality gravel.

The Brolio Castle deserves to be visited because it is the largest of the Chianti castles and here the "Barone Di Ferro" Bettino Ricasoli invented the most famous Italian wine, Chianti Classico.

Almost everything has been said. Castle, 11th century, Chianti "inventor" Baron Ricasoli. But it is also a stop on the famous "Eroica" cycling race, 230km long and over 3000m in altitude... The start and finish is Gaiole in Chianti.

A beautiful wine castle in the heart of Chianti, Barone Ricasole (the Iron Baron) certainly rings a bell for wine lovers. The castle is privately owned, but the garden and a small museum can be visited for a fee (including a small wine tasting).

Every time I pass by here I have to stop at the castle at night to observe it from the vineyard of the same name

You go up a dirt road between the vineyards and suddenly you see the castle of Brolio in all its sadness.

The emblem of Eroica Gaiole. With a stop at Caffè Eroica. Full Heroic spirit.
