All Sangiovese from the San Marcellino Vineyard which was planted by Marco’s father in 1966. This is where the estate best wine originated from since the old vines produce fruit of incredible concentration. Depending on the weather, the grapes for the Rosato are harvested by hand between mid-September and early October. The grape must is then fermented for about three weeks in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 degrees. During the following four months, the young wine remains at 10 degrees on the natural fine yeast allowing for it to soften, balancing its natural brisk acidity.

Aromas are delicate yet fresh and floral, hinting at violets, wild raspberries and crushed stones. Despite the gentle fragrance, this is not a dainty rosé by any means. Rather, there are some light tannins present along with deeply concentrated Bing cherries and blood orange fruit. Like all of our favorite rosé’s this is no stranger to a pool party, but has the structure and complexity that make it perfect for the dinner table.

Left Rocca di Montegrossi

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.
