2018 Rocca Di Montegrossi Toscana IGT "Geremia", Tuscany, Italy

It is a powerful, intense wine that also displays elegance and balance, bringing out the character of the terroir. Intense ruby, with violets, and with complex aromas that bring to mind sour cherries, currants and other wild berry fruit, mingled with licorice and vanilla. A wine of great structure and complexity, which is soft and velvety, thanks to its richness and the perfect ripeness of the tannins.

ABOUT THIS WINE

Following Marco Ricasoli’s desires, Geremia expresses the terroir of Monti in Chianti with the Bordeaux varietals, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (70% and 30%, respectively). It ages exclusively in medium-toast barriques from Allier for about 24 months, after which it is bottled without filtration and bottle aged for another 18 months. It is only made in the best vintages.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

The cellars are near the Romanesque church of San Marcellino.

The estate extends over an area of 100 hectares; 20 are planted to vine, another 20 are olive groves, and the remainder is woodland.
