Tasting Notes

92% Sangiovese, 6% Canaiolo, 2% Colorino

Aromas lean toward red cherry, plum skin, and floral notes, with subtle herbal and mineral accents. The palate is medium-bodied, driven by bright acidity and firm but polished tannins. Red berry fruit, light spice, and gentle earth tones create a balanced profile. The finish is clean and persistent, carrying hints of red fruit and minerality from galestro.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Chianti Classico’s vibrant acidity, red-cherry purity, and earthy, herbal nuance make it especially suited to savory dishes with Mediterranean flavors. Its combination of bright fruit, firm yet food-friendly tannins, and subtle spice complements tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, and dishes featuring olive oil and aromatic herbs, while its structure keeps richer textures lifted. The wine pairs best with pasta al pomodoro, bistecca alla fiorentina, roasted poultry, and Tuscan-inspired plates where acidity, herbs, and gentle umami underscore its classic Sangiovese character.

About the Producer

Rocca di Montegrossi is located in the Monti district of Gaiole, one of the historic centers of Chianti Classico. The estate sits close to the site of the medieval Montegrossoli fortress, a strategic stronghold documented as early as the 12th century. Its long connection to this part of Gaiole ties it to the early formation of Chianti’s winegrowing identity, shared by branches of the Ricasoli lineage that have shaped the region’s development over the centuries.
