2004 Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico San Marcellino (Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico)


Excellent bottle. When I first popped and poured, it was a tad disjointed, but with about 30-60 minutes, it began to sing. Laser focused cherry fruit and scorched earth, dried herbs, and sun dried fruit. Weighty fruit with ample acidity and tannins for a Sangiovese. This is built for aging, just like its sister cuvee, the Geremia IGT. Finishes extra long and it's definitely a food wine. Was a great match for a slow roasted frenched pork loin tonight. Something about slow roasted pork and the texture of Tuscan wine that makes the combo irresistible. Lovely wine.
