2021 Chianti Classico, Rocca di Montegrossi
2021 Chianti Classico, Rocca di Montegrossi
Ref: ROCC210
Rocca di Montegrossi was established by Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi in 1994 as an independent winery, but his roots go back much further; the Ricasoli family have been making wine in this area since the 12th century.
Marco’s wines are distinguished by tremendous purity of fruit and exceptional balance, helped by stony, limestone soils that impart admirable structure.
This house style - fruit purity matched by bold structure - means the wines often impress on first release. But with a few years ageing, they really start to show their full potential.

Tasting Notes
N.B. This wine is certified organic.
“Impenetrably dark ruby. Gorgeous, deep dark cherry with a white-pepper note. Great depth and complexity and super-inviting. Succulent, a little bloody and mouth-filling cherry fruit with sandpapery tannins. Long and generous and perfectly balanced. Overachieving for this category. One of the most consistent classic Chianti Classicos, which year after year, almost regardless of the vintage, delivers.” jancisrobinson.com
“The 2021 Chianti Classico is a model of excellence. Pure, bright and wonderfully vibrant, the 2021 possesses superb energy and exceptional balance. Crushed red/purplish fruit, rose petal, sweet spice and orange zest bristle with tension. This is a rare Chianti Classico I would cellar for a year or two. Superb.” vinous.com

Sweetness
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
