Rocca di Montegrossi

The almost 10,000 bottles of Rosato di Toscana from Rocca di Montegrossi are exemplary and perfect. Clean aromas of cherry and strawberry on the nose, lively, elegant and balanced on the palate with a lovely freshness, fresh, vibrant and long-lasting aftertaste of berries and spices. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Rosato is incredibly full of energy, like a horse waiting to jump out of the starting blocks. Ripe pineapple, pear and spiced citrus form the foundation on which the tangy, lively acidity flutters. The balance is admirable and beautifully rounded, showing a lovely inner sweetness. This bottle could empty quickly." Vinous

"Bright pink-red colour with sparkling reflections. Delicate nose of wild strawberries, tangerine peel, some honey, then citrus fruit and raspberries. Balanced and clear on the palate, with lively acidity and savoury fruit, finishing on fine citrus notes." Falstaff

Montegrossi's Chianti Classico remains true to the estate's style every year with its deep violet colour and initially youthful, reductive nose. On the palate, it shows its potential with a fascinating build-up of tension and fresh fruit of black cherries and blackberries. The supple tannins are refined and polished, but it's the juicy, savoury notes and tangy acidity that really make the wine sing. An energetic classic of the appellation, whose average it surpasses every year. Great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2022 Chianti Classico is fabulous - one of the best of the year. A burst of dark red/purple fruit, lavender, spice, rose petals and mint race across the palate. Deep, complex and wonderfully sexy - the 2022 is simply irresistible." Vinous

"A rich, dense style with flavours of cherries, raspberries and blackberries, with a hint of black pepper, while assertive tannins and lively acidity support the wine. It's balanced, if a little extracted, with a nice length." Wine Spectator

"This juicy, well-balanced Chianti Classico delivers fresh, vibrant red berry and cherry fruit with touches of white pepper and hibiscus. Quite firm and juicy, with nicely chewy tannins and a dainty, succulent finish. Effortlessly drinkable, but will also hold well for the next few years." James Suckling

The olive groves, around 1,000 plants of the Coreggiolo variety, stand on hilly ground with excellent exposure - the most favourable conditions for this high-quality, single-varietal olive oil, which is produced organically. A wonderful addition to Mediterranean cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

Smells intensely of redcurrants and black cherries, leather, spices and liquorice. Lush and flowing on the palate, all elements merge into a great, striking wine. Great potential! SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, bright ruby colour with a hint of violet and a delicately brightening rim. A compact nose of ripe blackberry and rich cherry, with elegant peppery spice and a fine malt flavour rounding off the bouquet. Polished and juicy on the palate, shows great entry with a racy, gripping finish, with a fine salty undertone, can be stored for a long time." Falstaff

"Impenetrable dark ruby. Rich blackberry and blueberry fruit with touches of cassis, bell pepper, black pepper and fully integrated oak. Juicy blackberry fruit with gritty elegant tannins and a lush finish. A very good wine from an unremarkable year." Jancis Robinson

"On the nose, there are spicy notes of thyme, sour cherries, lemon leaves and blackcurrants as well as black olives. It is full-bodied with firm, well-integrated tannins and a tangy kick of acidity. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable from 2023." James Suckling

"Outstanding, elegant blend of Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon: spicy forest fruit flavours, a powerful start, the tannins are fine-meshed and in balance with the acidity, the finish is berry-spicy and long." Vinum

"The Geremia 2018 is outstanding. A wine full of energy and finesse, the 2018 Geremia is more about persistence than volume. Blueberry, blackberry, lavender, liquorice and scorched earth are abundant. In 2018, Geremia is a wine of tension and restraint. Its best days are still far in the future. I wouldn't dream of touching a bottle anytime soon." Vinous

Vigna San Marcellino Gran Selezione is both youthfully fresh and ripe and complexly muscular. It contains a healthy dose of the deeply coloured Pugnitello grape, and on the nose liquorice, tarragon and broom mingle with lush plum and subtle roasted aromas that are highly seductive in their complexity. Deep, taut and lively on the palate, loaded with black cherry and rich, velvety tannins. The texture is silky, while subtle chalky notes and a salty minerality give it plenty of energy and lead it into a juicy, refreshing finish. Vigna San Marcellino is a convincing wine with enormous ageing potential every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, intense ruby red colour. Clearly sweet blood orange, sour cherries and black pepper on the nose, followed by an aroma of dark chocolate. Juicy, ripe cherry fruit on the palate, pleasant acidity with soft tannins, elegant and long finish." Falstaff

"Lots of Sangiovese with some Pugnitello from the vineyard of the same name: engaging bouquet of black cherries and lilac, spicy notes; the lively acidity and the excellent, still youthful tannins are well balanced, the finish is long on notes of redcurrants and minerality." Vinum

"Beautiful complexity and spice, with walnuts, grilled citrus, plums and sweet spices. Full-bodied yet quite restrained, with fine, dusty tannins and a long finish. Polished." James Suckling

"The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino 2019 is a dark, brooding wine. Black cherry, leather, smoke, incense and tobacco contribute to an impression of seriousness and pure power. This is a particularly dark, virile edition of San Marcellino. Give it a few years to mature." Vinous

"Aromas and flavours of violets, blackcurrants and black cherries take centre stage in this supple, energetic yet elegant red wine. Vibrant and straightforward, with a firm line of tannins and great length on the iron-rich finish. It ends with fruity, mineral and spicy notes and shows solid grip." Wine Spectator

Montegrossi's delicious Vin Santo del Chianti Classico matures for seven years in traditional Caratelli barrels made from oak, cherry and mulberry wood. It shows a marvellous concentration with thick glycerine that slowly runs down the rim of the glass with thick streaks of amber colour. The flavours are of astonishing intensity with explosive notes of candied fruit, brown sugar, maple syrup, caramel, toffee, butterscotch and dried apricots. With its pleasant and very balanced sweetness, it is a wonderful accompaniment to desserts, foie gras or soft cheeses. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium, shiny brown colour, very high viscosity, oily in the glass. Intense nose of nougat, chocolate, candied stone fruit, cubeb pepper, cinnamon, caramel. Dense, honey-like on the palate, pleasant interplay of sweetness and acidity, long and sweet finish." Falstaff

"The Vin Santo 2013 is a wild, exotic wine. Dried figs, brown sugar, toffee and exotic floral notes permeate this dark, viscous Vin Santo. Plush and flamboyant to the core, the 2013 is magnificent. harvestshould expect a particularly opulent, tropical style." Vinous

"Complex and seductive, this wine is reminiscent of Tokaji Eszencia in its concentration and sweetness, with a little more agility in its flavour. Dried figs, caramel, chocolate, orange peel and mineral aromas and flavours are intense and blend seamlessly into the soft texture." Wine Spectator

Sparkling ruby red colour. Complex and enveloping bouquet of rich cherry, black forest berries, violets, tobacco, tar, liquorice, incense and smoke in the background. The single-vineyard Chianti Classico San Marcellino has an excellent structure, interwoven with lively, elegant tannins, exemplary harmony and a savoury, slightly salty finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Impenetrable dark ruby. I can see the vintage with the oak having a bigger impact on the elegant fruit than is normally the case. That is not to say there isn’t plenty of concentrated black fruit contoured by savoury oak and a touch of undergrowth with just a hint of tar. Long, tangy and generous, with fine, sandpapery tannins. Elegant yet with plenty of stuffing, and ready now." Jancis Robinson

"The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino 2018 is outstanding. Silky and medium-bodied, the 2018 is a wine with more finesse than power. Dark fruit, coffee, lavender, liquorice, dried herbs and a hint of new oak adorn this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Gran Selezione. The San Marcellino 2018 is a wine of restraint and understatement." Vinous

"Packed with red berry fruit, sweet spices and mint. Quite full and powerful on the palate and richer than most other 2018s we've tasted." Decanter

"A rich, juicy red wine with aromas and flavours of cherry, raspberry, rose, graphite and earth. Pure, with lively acidity and refined tannins to support it. Balanced and long, with a mineral note on the finish. Sangiovese and Pugnitello." Wine Spectator

Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi's latest and strictly limited creation (only 1,659 magnum bottles were filled) was named after Ridolfo, an ancestor of the family. The deliberate composition of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Pugnitello symbolises the combination of tradition and modernity and at the same time impressively represents the terroir of the Chianti hills.

Dark ruby red, refined bouquet of blackberry, dried plum and eucalyptus. On the palate then with a firm, taut core, layers of sour cherry, spicy notes such as pepper and liquorice, as it progresses powerful and at the same time slightly balsamic. The well-proportioned acidity and the characteristic tannins lead this fleshy, muscular red into a furious, long-lasting final. A wine full of character and very independent! SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, deep dark ruby-violet. Opens with notes of smoke and cigars, plus some pepper and cardamom, lots of rich blackberry fruit. Shows tight, well-placed tannin on the palate, opens up in many layers, fresh, crisp fruit, builds up rich pressure on the back end, still a bit rough on the final." Falstaff

"An intense red wine with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, graphite, tar and toasted oak, supported by a dense tannic matrix. Characterised by a lively acidity that keeps things focused and taut on the finish, this wine should develop slowly." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Ridolfo is a stellar follow-up to the 2015. Dark, rich and super-expressive, the 2016 offers a combination of power and finesse that is immediately captivating. Espresso, blackberry, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice, lavender and cloves are some of the many nuances that gradually open in the glass. The 2016 is approachable now with aeration, but I would cellar it for a few years. Readers lucky enough to grab the 2016 will not be disappointed. It's a magnificent wine in every way." Vinous

"Inky, dark purple-ruby. While exuding a deep, layered blackberry and cherry perfume, with the most understated yet present oak note imaginable. After aeration, there is a whiff of Médoc, but the palate is less dry and more fruit-driven than you’d expect from a bordeaux. Soft, drying tannins and lots of succulent acidity." Jancis Robinson

"Dark, elegant ruby colour with a delicately brightening rim. Initially somewhat closed on the nose, reminiscent of sealing wax and plenty of spice, needs some time to open up. On the palate with a creamy entry and clear fruit, opens up with savoury, grippy tannins, present and dense." Falstaff

"The 2017 Ridolfo is an intoxicating, exotic wine. Lush and opulent, with bright acids and almost seamless tannins, the 2017 Ridolfo is a very special wine. Mocha, espresso, liquorice, menthol, pine and dried herbs all come together in a strong, deeply structured wine. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pugnitello is remarkable. The only thing the 2017 needs is time." Vinous

"Pithy bouquet of dark forest fruits and spices, topped with notes of undergrowth; powerful yet nuanced course, the robust tannins and acidity in balance, finishes long on notes of berries, liquorice and undergrowth. A wine of character that needs to mature." Vinum

"Deep and impenetrable. Intense and compact nose, shows notes of blackberry and raspberry, beetroot and coriander in the background. Powerful and gripping in the attack and course, opens with dark berry fruit, very powerful, lots of dense tannin that is wonderfully supple at the same time, long final with notes of tobacco." (5th place out of 100 "Best 100 under 100€") Falstaff

"Aromas of orange peel, bark and cherries follow a full body with chewy tannins. A juicy finish. The wood is still evident here, but it will recover in a year or two." James Suckling

"The 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino is a dazzling, explosive wine characterised by its aromatic presence, intensity of colour and overall depth. Dark red and purple fruits, exoticism, spice and leather are boldly outlined in this vibrant, stunning Chianti Classico that comes to life in the glass. The tannins are there, but they are almost masked by the sheer richness of the fruit. What a stunningly beautiful wine this is. After three warm vintages, the 2013 was a welcome change." Vinous

"Sparkling ruby with a slight violet hue. Rich nose with notes of ripe blackberries and dark cherries, lightly tarry in the background. Juicy and present in attack and course, very well integrated tannin, in addition appealing sweet melting, firm pressure." Falstaff

"A broad, dense red wine with aromas of ripe plums, black cherries and blackberries, framed by lively acidity and powerful tannins. Accents of earth, red chalk and tobacco intermingle. All components are properly proportioned, but it will take some time to fully integrate. Nice length and freshness. Best from 2022." Wine Spectator

"A selection from the San Marcellino vineyard, which includes a plot of 50-year-old vines. The soil here is extremely stony and consists mainly of Alberese - a hard marl rich in calcium carbonate that tends to produce deeply coloured wines. This wine has a lot going for it. Tantalising red and blackcurrants are underpinned by toasty aromas and spice. The palate is rich and mouth-filling without being heavy, with velvety structured tannins. The purity of the fruit is maintained throughout and the wine finishes with a delicious salinity." Decanter

"The Chianti Classico Vigneto San Marcellino 2015 is fabulous. Sweet red cherry, red plum, mint, sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, liquorice, blood orange and dried herbs race from the glass. Sangiovese is so expressive. Yet the 2015 is a wine of restraint. I would cellar it for at least a couple of years, as it has clearly closed up after bottling. Its energy and vivacity are remarkable." Vinous

"The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino 2016 is a dense, full-bodied wine. harvestwill have to be patient, as the 2016 is a toddler. Overripe blue and violet fruits, spices, leather, tobacco and menthol unfold in the glass. The 2016 is dense and lush, yet the acids pulse with energy and lend a sense of transparency that is particularly evident on the finish. This combination makes for a compelling Gran Selezione that should age well for 15-20 years or more." Vinous

It contains a healthy dose of the deeply coloured Pugnitello grape, and both this and the Sangiovese were macerated for a long time after fermentation in 2016, for over 30 days. Liquorice, tarragon and broom mingle with luscious plum and subtle roasted flavours that are seductive. The palate is loaded with black cherry and rich, velvety tannins and has a creamy texture, while underlying chalk and salty minerality add energy and lead to a juicy, refreshing finish." Decanter

"The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto San Marcellino 2017 is powerful, but also shockingly closed for this dry, warm year. harvestwill have to be patient with the 2017, as it still needs a little time to show its best side. Juicy dark cherry, plum, mocha, cloves and liquorice - all leading to a powerful, explosive finish. It has enormous substance, not to mention its sheer character." Vinous

"This opulent Chianti Classico is characterised by blackberries, blackcurrants and tar, with accents of toasted oak. It is soft at the beginning, then the dense tannins come to the fore. The aftertaste is long and intense, characterised by dark fruit and iron." Wine Spectator
