Rocca di Montegrossi 2005

Posted on April 22, 2009 by RJ

Rocca di Montegrossi, Chianti Classico DOCG, 2005

There’s earthiness in the nose and plenty of tart cherry flavor in the mouth. This wine is medium-bodied, shows a bit of tannin and is long on acidity. I’m craving salame as I taste it. 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo, aged in French oak for 12 months. Estate bottled in Gaiole 13.5% $22.99 at Traverso’s
