Chianti Classico – Rocca di Montegrossi

Description

Among the hills of Gaiole in Chianti, where the countryside seems to be hand-painted, the Chianti Classico di Rocca di Montegrossi is born, the company’s “flagship” wine. It is a red that smells of cherries, violets and earth warmed by the sun, an immediate reference to the streets between Florence and Siena, to village trattorias and summer evenings outdoors. A bottle that brings to mind the slow pace of a trip to Tuscany.
