From his first vintage in 1995, Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi has crafted powerful, yet elegant wines imbued with real character. This vertical tasting of Rocca di Montegrossi's Chianti Classico Vigneto San Marcellino once again showed the pedigree Sangiovese is capable of in the hands of an inspired grower guided by a desire to make wines that express the essence of site and vintage. I tasted every vintage back to the inaugural 1995, with the exception of the 1997 and 1998, of which there are no remaining stocks at the winery. In their place, Ricasoli opened the 1995 and 1996 Geremia, which provided fascinating contrasts to the San Marcellinos of the same years.

Proprietor Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi has done a marvelous job with these new releases. 'Pedigree' is what comes to mind when I think of the Rocca di Montegrossi wines. Readers who aren't yet familiar with this small, family-run estate are missing out some of the most dynamic, delicious wines being made in Italy today.
