Product Notes

'Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico 'San Marcellino' is an extraordinary Italian red wine from Tuscany. Noted for its intriguing complexity, it entices the palate with flavours of ripe cherry, wild berries, and a hint of spice. Matured in oak barrels, it develops a vibrantly earthy undertone and a finely grained tannins profile. Its opulence reflects the sunny, rolling hills of the Chianti Classico region, the heartland of Tuscan wine production. A seamless combination of intensity and elegance, this wine promises an authentic and memorable drinking experience, making it a perfect accompaniment for robust meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

Dark ruby with narrow orange rim, mature looking but not aged. Very dusty opening. Slow emerging, full nose of ripe dark fruit and hints of tar and nuttiness. Dense, with real depth and fine grainy tannin

About the Winery

Rocca di Montegrossi

Located amidst the tranquil hills of the Chianti Classico zone, sits the stunning Rocca di Montegrossi winery. Established by the Martini family, it's stone-walled edifices and verdant vineyards paint the perfect Tuscan landscape, complete with an organic allure and country chic.

The winery spans over 100 hectares, with 20 hectares specifically dedicated to grape cultivation. There, modern viticulture techniques blend seamlessly with traditional practices to bring forth some of the finest quality varietals including Sangiovese, Pugnitello, Canaiolo and Colorino. As a testament to its sustainable approach, since 2006, the production at Rocca di Montegrossi has been entirely organic, a fact that significantly elevates the appeal of its distinguished wines.

As you journey through the vineyard it becomes vaguely apparent that a visit to Rocca di Montegrossi is more than a mere wine tour. It's a genuinely immersive experience, marked by the beauty of Tuscan nature, appreciation of dedicated craftsmanship, and the superior pleasure of tasting authentic Italian wines. Connoisseurs will take particular delight in their Chianti Classico, a distinguished red that marries the robust Sangiovese grape with the subtler Canaiolo.

However, the true crown jewel of Rocca di Montegrossi is the opulent villa that oversees the vineyard. Steeped in history, the villa not only serves as a bed and breakfast but, also as a splendid venue for weddings and events. An amalgamation of Tuscan tradition and luxury accommodation, it's a vastly sought after destination by those yearning for the quintessential Italian countryside experience.

The Rocca di Montegrossi winery weaves a beautiful narrative of striking scenery, detailed winemaking, and tranquil Tuscan living; serenely composed within the heart of Chianti Classico. With a glass of their exquisite wine in hand life's troubles seem to melt into the rolling, sun-kissed hills.---
