Rocca di Montegrossi

Vorbildlich und perfekt sind die nur 10.000 Flaschen Rosato di Toscana von Rocca di Montegrossi. Saubere Aromen von Kirsche und Erdbeere in der Nase, am Gaumen lebendig, elegant und ausgewogen, langanhaltend nach Beeren und Gewürzen. (superiore.de)

"Bright pink. Fresh herbs, earth tones and raspberry on the nose, complicated by a touch of blood orange and licorice. In a serious, dry style, displaying very good intensity to its delicate, restrained red fruit flavors that are made even more austere by laser-like acidity. Finishes long and savory with a refreshingly bitter note of cherry pit on the finish. This fresh 100% Sangiovese wine will stand up well even to richer foods." Ian d'Agata

Ein ungefilterter, authentischer Roter: Lebendiges Rubin mit hellen violetten Reflexen, in der Nase reiche fruchtige Aromen, ganz typisch nach Waldbeeren und Sauerkirschen. Überaus wohlschmeckend, harmonisch und gut strukturiert, mit seidigen Tanninen und würzigen Akzenten. (superiore.de)

"A warm red for the vintage with chocolate, spice and berry character. Medium body, soft tannins and a decadent finish." James Suckling

"The 2014 Chianti Classico is a surprisingly powerful, potent wine. Black cherry, smoke, licorice and dark spices fill out the wine's ample frame effortlessly. The sheer depth and intensity are impressive and show why this is such a great site. Sweet rose petal, spice and mint are some of the many nuances that blossom as the wine sits in the glass. Put simply, this is one of the wines of the vintage." Antonio Galloni

"Sattes, funkelndes Rubin mit leichtem Violettschimmer. Intensive und ansprechendes Nase, zeigt Duftnoten nach reifen Kirschen, Zwetschken, im Hintergrund würzig nach Zedernholz. Samtig und voluminös am Gaumen, breitet sich geschmeidig aus, viel süße, reife Beerenfrucht, zeigt aber auch guten Trinkfluß, saftig und mit langem Nachhall." Falstaff (Platz 1 der Chianti Classico Trophy 11/2017)

"A smoky note runs through this intense, powerful red, along with tar, leather, black cherry and iron flavors. Dense and juicy, with a long, vibrant aftertaste echoing tar and fruit elements." Wine Spectator

"I like the energy and citrusy undertone to the blackberry and blueberry character. Full to medium body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

"The 2015 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and leather are nicely pushed forward in this attractive, supple Chianti Classico. The ripeness of the year comes through nicely, but without distorting the wine's very classic, midweight feel. Although quite ripe, the 2015 retains striking minerality and salinity." Antonio Galloni

"A direct descendant of Baron Bettino Ricasoli, owner Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi traces the estate's history back to the 7th century. Today the property has 20ha of vineyards, certified organic since 2010. This 2015 exhibits lusher fruit than the 2016, with delicious black cherry, anise and ripe mint nuances." Decanter

"Deep ruby. Ripe cherry with hints of exotic spice and nutmeg. Concentrated cherry fruit shot through by firm, bitter-sweet tannins. Perfect dose of acidity carrying the ripe fruit. Long and multi-layered." Jancis Robinson

"Rocca di Montegrossi makes pristine wines without sacrificing character. The estate is located near the town of Monti-in-Chianti, within the commune of Gaiole. The area has a distinct soil of limestone and marl, rich in calcium that's said to give elegance along with deeper colour to the wines. Here, the expression is of blackberry, blackcurrant and balsamic herbs. Densely textured tannins and energetic acidity provide plenty of structure." Decanter

"Aromas of blackberries, blueberries and flowers follow through to a full body with tight and silky tannins. A pretty and polished finish. A subtle and driven wine." James Suckling

Geremia aus Merlot und Cabernet Sauvignon duftet intensiv nach Johannisbeeren und schwarzen Kirschen, Leder, Gewürzen und Lakritze. Am Gaumen üppig und fließend, alle Elemente verschmelzen zu einem großen, markanten Wein. Großartiges Potenzial! (superiore.de)

"Funkelndes, sattes Rubin mit Violettschimmer. Eröffnet in der Nase mit einer intensiven Wolke von sattem Cassis, dazu Himbeeren und Brombeeren, sehr einprägsam, etwas Zedernholz. Am Gaumen viel zupackendes, dichtes Tannin, baut sich satt auf, stoffig und fest, wirkt noch sehr jung, hat ein langes Leben vor sich!" Falstaff

"Lots of blackberry, black currant and mineral aromas that follow through to a full body, that's tight and silky. Shows pretty length and texture. Very finely crafted." James Suckling

"Shows more finesse than power, featuring well-defined flavors of black cherry, currant, tobacco and tea. The finish is beefy, with tealike tannins holding court." Wine Spectator

"The 2012 Geremia is the highlight in this range, and also one of the best wines I tasted during my recent trip through Chianti Classico. Deep, dense and brooding, the 2012 is another wine that will require considerable time to come into focus. Today it possesses exceptional depth, power and intensity, all of which will allow it to age effortlessly for many years. With time in the glass, scents of lavender, sage, menthol and licorice start to open up, but the 2012 needs time. This is an absolutely stellar wine from Rocca di Montegrossi and proprietor Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi." Antonio Galloni

"Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubin mit leichtem Violettschimmer. Sehr intensive, fleischige Nase, viel dunkle Johannisbeere, etwas Holunderbeeren überlagert von feinen Kakaonoten und Tabak. Stoffig und dicht in Ansatz und Verlauf, zeigte satte, reife Beerenfrucht, öffnet sich mit viel dichtem Tannin, umwoben von sattem Schmelz, im Nachhall feine salzige Noten, lange." Falstaff

"The 2013 Geremia shows an impenetrable appearance that is infused with dark plum, spice, campfire ash, sweet tobacco and grilled rosemary. The weighty finish is robust and long." Robert Parker

"A concentrated and complex version, this reveals black cherry, blackberry, thyme and oak spice flavors. Firmly structured and long, with a vibrant structure lending support." Wine Spectator

"This is a little old school with lots of concentrated fruit and toasted oak. Dried flowers, too. Full body, chewy and fresh. Drink in 2020 to allow the tannins to soften." James Suckling

"The 2013 Geremia shows just how exceptional this vintage is in Chianti Classico. Vibrant, powerful and structured, the 2013 is a thoroughbred that is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Black cherry, plum, exotic spice, graphite, sage and lavender infuse the intense, massively powerful finish. This fruit was picked on October 3 and 4, which is on the later side for the estate. What a wine!" Antonio Galloni

"According to proprietor Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi, 2013 was a challenging growing season with delayed ripening that pushed harvest of the estate’s merlot into early October, several weeks later than usual. The longer hang time allowed the fruit to develop complex aromas that waft from the glass in notes of fresh thyme and crushed violets. Its flavors of blackberry and plum feel fresh and vibrant, sculpted by chiseled tannins and infused with a cool streak of graphite that lends it an intense minerality. Notes of licorice and black spice emerge on the long finish." Wine&Spirits

Tiefes Rubinrot, großes, komplexes und umhüllendes Bouquet nach schwarzen Waldbeeren, Veilchen und Tabak. Der Einzellagen-Chianti Classico San Marcellino ist hervorragend strukturiert, mit lebendigen, eleganten Tanninen durchwoben und von vorbildlicher Harmonie und Länge. (superiore.de)

"Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubin mit leichtem Violettschimmer. Intensive und kompakte Nase, zeigt Noten nach Brombeere und Himbeere, im Hintergrund Rote Rüben und Koriander. Kraftvoll und zupackend in Ansatz und Verlauf, öffnet sich mit dunkler Beerenfrucht, griffiges, dichtes Tannin, im Finale langer Nachhall mit Noten nach Tabak, zeigt sich noch sehr jung." Falstaff

"Aromas of orange peel, bark and cherries follow through to a full body with chewy tannins. A juicy finish. The wood is still showing a lot here, but it will come around in another year or two." James Suckling

"Lustrous deep ruby. Closed nose with hints of beef stock. Still youthful and compact on the palate but with a fine, concentrated core of sweet-sour cherry with acidic nerve. Medium-bodied but still lush fruit sensations and gorgeous mouth-filling tannins." Jancis Robinson

"A dazzling, explosive wine, the 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino is endowed with serious aromatic presence, color intensity and overall depth. Dark red and purplish-fruit, exotic, spice and leather are all boldly sketched in a vivid, stunning Chianti Classico that comes alive in the glass. The tannins are present, but they are nearly buried by the sheer richness of the fruit. What a stunningly beautiful wine this is. After a trio of warm vintages, 2013 was a welcome change." Antonio Galloni

"Walnuts, coffee beans, dark fruit and a bark undertone. Full body, soft and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Lovely, chewy texture." James Suckling

"An intense red, boasting an expressive range of kirsch, raspberry, floral, mineral and spice flavors, nicely offset by a vibrant structure. All the elements come together on the lingering aftertaste. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon." Wine Spectator

Nur 2.500 Flaschen werden pro Jahrgang abgefüllt: Bernsteinfarbener Vin Santo, unglaublich voll, mit Noten von Mandeln, Honig und kandierten Orangen; er wird aus weißen getrockneten Malvasia-Trauben und einem kleinen Teil Canaiolo gekeltert. Mit seiner angenehmen Süße ist er ein wunderbarer Begleiter zu Desserts, Gänsestopfleber oder Weichkäse. (superiore.de)

"Aromas and flavors of molasses, Muscat raisin and caramel are the hallmarks of this sweet, unctuous dessert white. The finish is creamy and resonant, showing freshness and harmony." Wine Spectator

"Dark colored amber. So much dried, sweet cherries. Full-bodied and very sweet with syrup, yet fresh and amazing. A unique sweet wine. Drink forever. A joy to taste by the tea spoon." James Suckling

"Rocca di Montegrossi often makes one of the richest Vin Santos in Chianti Classico. The 2006 is a bit less opulent than is often the case, but that just means the Vin Santo is not a blockbuster. Voluptuous and beautifully layered throughout, the 2006 offers an attractive infusion of dried herbs, wild flowers, coconut, mint and leather, all wrapped around a core of dark, deeply spiced fruit." Antonio Galloni

"Sattes Rubin mit Violettschimmer. Duftet nach Schokolade, dann viel Cassis und Brombeere, gehaltvoll und dicht. Zeigt am Gaumen viel süße und präsente Frucht, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem Tannin, ummantelt von viel süßer Frucht, viel Druck, langer Nachhall." Falstaff

"The 2011 Geremia, the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend, offers tons of energy to balance its dark, inky fruit. Lavender, menthol, melted road tar, sage, crème de cassis and grilled herbs are some of the many signatures. The ripeness and raciness of the year come through in spades, yet there is an element of pulsating intensity in the glass that plays off the more overt elements nicely. This is another superb showing from Rocca di Montegrossi." Antonio Galloni
