2019 Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico
$
Region: Gaiole in Chianti, Tuscany Italy
Viticulture: Certified Organic
Winemaker: Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi
Established Date: 1984
This is 90% Sangiovese with 5% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino, aged in tonneaux and barriques for twelve months. An intense ruby-red colour with violet reflections, the fruity aroma is atypical of Sangiovese with notes of cherry and wild berries. Harmonious, well-structured and lightly tannic, it is a wine that can easily mature for eight years, more in the best vintages.
Sommelier’s Recommendation
Chianti Classico is one of the world’s most underrated regions. It is different from regular Chainti as they have better vineyards on better soils in better locations which in turn makes MUCH better wine. A string of fantastic vintages since 2015 has shot Chianti Classico onto the world stage. The wine is predominantly Sangiovese is is from the most historic sites in the centre of the region. A beautiful wine that works with a huge range of foods. This wine is fresh, clean and jumping out of the glass with bright red fruits and earthy tones that give it such a wide array of aromas and flavours.
