"one of the most under-the-radar estates in Chianti Classico" Galloni
Located at Monti in Chianti (Gaiole), considered one of the region’s grand crus, Rocca di Montegrossi is named after the historic fortress (La Rocca) built by Marco’s ancestor, Geremia, during the Longobard period (600-800 AD).
The Rocca di Montegrossi wines are distinguished by tremendous purity of fruit and exceptional balance.

Description
About 2021 Chianti Classico’s, Antonio Galloni wrote in his article in August 2023 “Chianti Classico: The Brilliant 2021s & Variable 2020s”:This is a stellar set of wines from proprietor Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi. All of the wines are compelling, but as is the case with so many properties, I am super-impressed with the Chianti Classico, a wine that will give readers a very good idea of what the vintage is all about. The Rocca di Montegrossi wines are distinguished by tremendous purity of fruit and exceptional balance.”
