Rocca di Montegrossi - Chianti Classico 2022

James Suckling

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.

Decanter Magazine

Marco called the 2022 harvest ‘a slalom’ between heavy showers at the end of September. He managed to get in most of the grapes for his annata before a localised hailstorm on the 29th. It saw less time in wood but longer before bottling, and was well worth the wait. Exhibiting spectacular purity and vivacity, the nose is a cornucopia of dark purple fruit scented with violet and lilac. This scrumptious mouthful is almost grapey in flavour with a ton of fruit sweetness. Black cherry and boysenberry meet plush, velvety tannins you can sink your teeth into. Succulent acidity buoys all that fleshiness, and hints of pepper flit throughout. A must-buy!

Jeb Dunnuck

Pouring a deep magenta hue, the 2022 Chianti Classico is inviting and ripe with aromas of black raspberries, cherries, crushed violets, and mossy earth. The palate is polished and pure, with ripe tannins, crunchy, refreshing acidity, and a stony texture. It’s a lovely Chianti Classico that will be fantastic for drinking now or over the next 8-10 years.
