Rocca di Montegrossi | Tuscany
Rocca di Montegrossi | Loc. Monti in Chianti | IT 53013 Gaiole in Chianti

Sparkling ruby red. Complex and enveloping bouquet of rich cherry, black forest berries, violets, tobacco, tar, liquorice, incense and smoke in the background. The single-vineyard Chianti Classico San Marcellino is excellently structured, interwoven with lively, elegant tannins, of exemplary harmony and a savoury, slightly salty finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby with a dark core. Shows pronounced spicy notes on the nose, of sandalwood and cardamom, then lots of blackberry and dark cherry. Multilayered and present on the palate, grippy, hearty tannin, shows good tension, salty, firm pressure on the final." Falstaff

"Expressive aromas of cherries, blueberries, chocolate, spices and smoked meat. The texture on the palate is creamy, with velvety tannins, showing energy and a lively violet edge towards the finish." Decanter

"This opulent Chianti Classico is highlighted by blackberry, black currant and tar, with toasty oak accents. Starts out smooth, then the dense tannins emerge. Remains long and intense on the aftertaste, which is marked by the dark fruit and iron." Wine Spectator

"The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino is potent, but also shockingly closed for this dry, warm year. Readers will have to be patient with the 2017 as it needs quite a bit of time to be at its best. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, cloves and licorice all build into the huge, explosive finish. There's tremendous substance here, not to mention tons of sheer character." Vinous
