The 2015 Chianti Classico Vigneto San Marcellino is fabulous. Sweet red cherry, red plum, mint, sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, licorice, blood orange and dried herbs all race out of the glass. The Sangiovese is so expressive. Even so, the 2015 is a wine of reserve. I would cellar it for at least a few years, as it has clearly entered a period of post-bottling closure. Its energy and vibrancy are notable.

A broad, dense red, with ripe plum, black cherry and blackberry flavors, framed by vibrant acidity and burly tannins. Earth, sanguine and tobacco accents chime in. All the components are proportioned correctly, but this will take some time to integrate fully. Fine length and freshness. Best from 2022 through 2043. 1,400 cases made, 480 cases imported.

A balanced, refined red with plum, cherry and chocolate character, as well as walnut. It’s medium-bodied with juicy fruit and a savory finish. Complex and pretty. Drink or hold.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Rocca di Montegrossi absolutely crushed it in 2015 (a big, powerful vintage), and the Selezione is a wine that may just give you an epiphany. A rare Vinous 96 to boot! We only have a small batch -- this is a must!
Collectors! Sangiovese aficionados! Of course, YOU know that Rocca di Montegrossi is quite simply a BENCHMARK for Chianti Classico - the winery played a very central role in the history of the entire region and establishing the appellation. Located in Monti, one of the finest areas of Chianti Classico, the winery owns 100 hectares of legendary southeast-facing hillsides with calcareous loamy soils, at elevations between 340 and 510 meters above sea level.
