Rocca di Montegrossi Toscana IGT Sangiovese Rosato 2021
The history of the Ricasoli-Firidolfi family in Tuscany is a rich tapestry of kings and statesmen, its fabric woven together with the vine. For more than 37 generations, this ancient family has cultivated grapes and crafted wines in Monti in Chianti, the “very best area” of Chianti Classico, according to Antonio Galloni. This medium-bodied, full-flavored rosato is a hand-harvested selection of Sangiovese from the estate’s top vineyard, San Marcellino. Sangiovese grapes are pressed gently after a short maceration, and are aged in tank on fine lees for more body. Dry, bold, beautiful!

The 2021 Rosato is irresistible and decidedly savory in the glass, with wild herbal tones and wet stone giving way to crushed apricots and lime zest. This envelopes the palate in soft textural fruits, while mixing saline-minerals with brilliant acidity, as gingery spices mount toward the close. It tapers off more salty than sweet, yet nicely refreshing, while leaving wild strawberry tones to linger. The word ‘yum’ does not do this justice. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2022)
