Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico 2021
$58.00
Very ripe, with a pure core of dark cherry, cassis and dark plum-like fruit backed by chocolatey, earthy and spicy udnerontes. Long and penetrative, its juicy, push core of flavour is underpinned by a fine, firmish undercarriage of drying tannins before finishing very long, savoury and artfully wrapped in vivacious acidity. Just give it time; everything is there.

Rocca di Montegrossi
Rocca di Montegrossi is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, about 7 km from Gaiole. The name comes from the historic fortress (la Rocca) constructed during the Longobard period (600-800 AD) by Geremia, ancestor of the Ricasoli–Firidolfi family, and destroyed in 1530.
Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi is part of the same Ricasoli family that was instrumental in the development of the Chianti Classico story. His wines come from the San Marcellino vineyard whose organically managed soils are particularly rocky, encouraging the vine roots to grow deep. The results are naturally low yields and wines that deliver concentration and power.
The property encompasses 60 hectares, of which 18 are under vine. The vineyards are situated on gently sloping hills of calcareous origin, between 300-450 metres in altitude and and planted to densities between 3,300 vines per hectare in the old vineyards and 5200-6200 in the new.
