2001 | Rocca di Montegrossi | Vigneto San Marcellino (Magnum)

Intense and riveting in its expression of ripe red currant fruit, tar, and chocolate, warm and forceful on the palate.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2001 Chianti Classico Riserva San Marcellino is a classic example of high level Sangiovese, intense and riveting in its expression of ripe red currant fruit, tar, and chocolate, warm and forceful on the palate, strong and balanced from the attack to the finish and with grip and authority to burn. It will drink well for another dozen years. An impressive lineup of wines, to say the least.

• Vinous: The 2001 Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico Riserva has power, structure and depth. This wine is made from 100% Sangiovese and is a classic. Sangiovese, when it is right, has unending length, and this wine is really right. Wild cherry, rosemary and sauvage-filled intrigue rolls across your palate while minerals crystallize and deposit their structure on your tongue.

Producer Information

Rocca di Montegrossi is an estate located in the commune of Gaiole, Tuscany. It is best known for its Chianti Classico wines based on the Sangiovese grape variety. The property covers 100 hectares (247 acres) of which 20ha are planted with grapes (Sangiovese accounts for 13). Another 20 hectares contain olive groves, while the remainder is woodland. The vineyards have been certified organic since 2010. They lie on gentle south- and southeast-facing slopes between 340 and 510 meters (1,017 to 1,772ft). Soils are chalky loam. The “normale” Chianti Classico bottling is the core release. It features around 90 percent Sangiovese with small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino. It is aged for 12-14 months, mainly in casks and large barrels made with French oak from Alliers.
