| | “Despite being located in one of the very best areas in Chianti Classico & boasting a superb track record, Rocca di Montegrossi remains one of the most under-the-radar estates in Chianti Classico, and Italy, for that matter. Proprietor Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi crafts deep, powerful wines that capture the essence of Monti, a sub-zone of Gaiole that has long been prized for the personality & pedigree of its reds. The estate’s Chianti Classico is often one of the best wines in its class.” —Antonio Galloni, Vinous

92 Points Wine Spectator “Pure and expressive, exuding violet, black cherry, black currant and mineral flavors. Linear and wound up, with a core of fruit to match the firm structure.” — Bruce Sanderson |

90 Points Vinous “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
