The Ricasoli family has been in this exalted corner of Chianti since the 7th century when the family founder established a castle - Rocca di Montegrossi. They became winemakers when in 1141 the Castello di Brolio along with its cellars and vineyards fell into the family's hands. They are credited with developing the “recipe” of what we know as modern day Chianti towards the end of the 19th century. Ever since then, Rocca di Montegrossi has produced benchmark Chianti’s and currently under the helm of Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi, there is consensus that the estate is producing perhaps their best wines ever.

When Marco took over he embarked on producing wine that more nakedly displays the estate's exceptional terroir. His wines have an energetic nervy edge with elegant minerality and structure. Qualities that are evident in every bottle they make from their benchmark Chianti and legendary Vin Santo to their incredibly charming and classy rosé.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2020 Chianti Classico is striking. Bright, punchy and vibrant, the 2020 possesses terrific energy from start to finish. Sweet red-fleshed fruit, cedar, blood orange, spice and incense are front and center. The 2020 screams with character. Once again, Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi has crafted an exceptional Chianti Classico that punches well above its weight." -Vinous

"Lustrous ruby. A tiny bit reductive on the nose and a little leathery with brooding fruit underneath. Suave sour-cherry fruit with long grainy tannins. Very long, fragrant and succulent, but needs more time in the bottle."

"Grapes for this 2020 were picked in the last week of September, after abnormally warm conditions earlier in the month had time to subside. It is true to the estate’s style, with a deep purple colour and backward nose of youthful reduction. The palate offers a better demonstration of potential with an intriguing build up of tension along with fresh black cherry and blackberry fruit. The supple tannins are sophisticated and polished but it is the sappy, saline twist and tangy acidity that really makes the wine sing."
