Commanding the surrounding countryside from its home above rolling hills of olive groves and vineyards, Castello di Brolio was remodeled with Gothic turrets and towers in the mid-19th century by Bettino Ricasoli, two-time prime minister of Italy and the man responsible for introducing Chianti wine to the world. One of the most popular activities on Chianti wine tours, Brolio Castle visits include the castle and private chapel, Ricasoli’s art collection, and Renaissance gardens, along with the winery's cellars, expansive vineyards, and tasting room and shop. Castello di Brolio is also a highlight of castle tours, wine country tours, and hilltown tours in Tuscany.
