2020 Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico, Tuscany

Very closed on the nose showing notes of dates and dried black prunes. In the background a lot of fondant chocolate descibes the secondary scene. Medium bodied on the palate, well extracted soft tannins and a finale in which acidity accompanies arrogance. Drink now.

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 mainly in large casks and barrels made with oak from Allier, for 12-14 months. It is unfiltered, and after bottling it ages another 6 months prior to release.

This is 90% Sangiovese with 5% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino, aged in tonneaux and barriques for twelve months. An intense ruby-red colour with violet reflections, the fruity aroma is atypical of Sangiovese with notes of cherry and wild berries. Harmonious, well-structured and lightly tannic, it is a wine that can easily mature for a period ranging from four to eight years.
