Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico '22

This exemplary Chianti Classico glows with a deep ruby color with violet reflections. The nose is classically Sangiovese, offering vibrant aromas of sour cherry, violet, and subtle earthy undertones of dried herbs and fresh-turned soil. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with refined tannins framing flavors of red plum, cranberry, and a touch of baking spice. Aged 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks, the wine maintains beautiful fruit purity while developing subtle complexity. Earning 92 points for its typicity and balance, this Chianti would shine alongside classic Italian fare like wild boar ragù or mushroom risotto, with enough structure to benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring. The bright acidity and mineral-driven finish make it particularly food-friendly, cutting through rich dishes with ease.
