Product Description
93 points in James Suckling - "Blueberries and cherries with floral and cocoa-powder undertones. Medium to full body, ripe tannins and a flavorful finish. Lovely length to this, especially for this difficult vintage. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
92 points in Wine Spectator - "A rich, plum- and black cherry–infused red, pitting the lush texture against a solid base of tannins. Tobacco, earth and mineral notes add depth. The finish is vibrant and long. Drink now through 2030."

Product details
Located in the Commune of Gaiole in Chianti, Rocca di Montegrossi was established by Geremia, founder of the Ricasoli-Firidolfi family, during the Longobard period (VII-VIII Centuries AD). It is strategically located, dominating much of Chianti and the Valdarno Superiore, and has had an adventurous, rich, and at time dramatic history.
