Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Marcellino 2012  - First Bottle

Reviews

94+ Vinous -
Rocca di Montegrossi's 2012 Chianti Classico Vigneto San Marcellino is impressive, but it is going to need a good few years at a minimum to even start drinking well. Dense, primary and totally unevolved, the 2012 is a wine of potential at this stage. A host of dark cherry, smoke, plum and flowers gradually opens up in the glass. Vertical in build and concentrated on the palate, the 2012 has huge upside for those who can wait.

Dave, in our warehouse, drinks this like Gatorade. JK, but it's outrageously good (94+!) and is really perfect right now. We love the Rocca di Montegrossi wines!

About the Producer

Rocca di Montegrossi is located near Monti in Chianti, one of the finest sections of Chianti Classico, about 7 km south of Gaiole. Rocca di Montegrossi's owner, Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi, is descended from a family that played a central role in the history of the Chianti Classico region and laid the foundations for Chianti Classico wine. The estate extends over an area of 100 hectares; 20 are planted to vine, another 20 are olive groves. The vineyards, on gentle south and southeast-facing hillsides with calcareous loamy soils, are at elevations between 340 and 510 meters above sea level. Simply put, this is one of the finest producers in all of Chianti with wines that offer tremendous quality to price ratio.
