Rosato 2009 van Rocca di Montegrossi

June 8th, 2010

Rocca di Montegrossi is one of the leading producers in Chianti Classico. The estate’s Rosato, made from Sangiovese, is one of the finest rosés readers are likely to encounter. The 2009 Rosato is gorgeous for its rich fabric of fruit and superb sense of harmony, qualities that accompany the wine through to the soft, enveloping finish. So many rosés today seem to be about subtraction, but Rocca di Montegrossi’s Rosato is a wine that can stand on its own, without inviting comparisons to other wines in the estate’s line-up. It is also a wine that I imagine will be delicious pretty much year-round. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
