Rocca Di Montegrossi Chianti Classico (2019)
375mL / Italy
Rocca di Montegrossi's Chianti Classico is the estate's flagship wine; it is a blend of about 90% Sangiovese, with Canaiolo and Colorino, and is produced every year.
It ages for the most part in large casks and barrels made with oak from Allier, for 12-14 months - unfiltered, and another 12 months in bottle prior to release.
In the glass it is lively ruby, with bright violet reflections, and on the nose displays the rich fruity aromas typical of the varietals, in particular forest berry fruit and sour cherries.
On the palate it's harmonious and well structured, with nice tannins and savory accents; it will easily age for 4-8 years. Annual production is about 40,000 bottles.
