Viniou Reviews

The 2012 Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico, Cuvée San Marcellino, is an exquisite organic red wine from the heart of Tuscany, Italy. This wine, crafted predominantly from the Sangiovese grape, showcases the beautiful attributes of the region's terroir, benefiting from its rich limestone soils and the warm Tuscan sun. The 2012 vintage was particularly exceptional, offering a balance of ripeness and acidity. The estate, Rocca di Montegrossi, is renowned for its commitment to traditional winemaking methods while emphasizing sustainable practices, rooted deeply in the historical and cultural tapestry of Chianti Classico.

For pairing suggestions, this Chianti Classico is a superb match for classic Italian dishes. Consider serving it with a hearty Tuscan beef stew or a rich wild boar ragu. The wine's vibrant acidity and depth also complement tomato-based pasta dishes like pasta al pomodoro or a simple margherita pizza. To bring out its rustic charm, pair it with aged pecorino cheese or a charcuterie board featuring Tuscan salami.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of around 16-18°C. Decant the wine for about an hour before tasting to allow it to fully open up. Begin by observing its deep ruby colour in the glass. On the nose, expect aromas of cherry, leather, and subtle earthy notes. As you taste, notice its elegant structure and well-integrated tannins, finishing with hints of spice and a lingering aftertaste.
