This box of Rocca di Montegrossi Chianti Classico San Marcellino contains 2 bottles each of the following vintages:
2 x 2012
Deep ruby, with an ample, complex, and enveloping bouquet featuring fruit, in particular raspberry, and violets mingling with spice and minerality. San Marcellino displays beautiful structure, with vibrant, elegant tannins accompanied by harmonious savory accents. The 2012 is an extremely well balanced, persistent wine.
94+ Points - Vinous
Dense, primary and totally unevolved, the 2012 is a wine of potential at this stage. A host of dark cherry, smoke, plum and flowers gradually opens up in the glass. Vertical in build and concentrated on the palate, the 2012 has huge upside for those who can wait.
92 Points - Wine Spectator
A note of pure cherry is underlined by vivid acidity and dusty tannins. Tobacco, iron, leather, earth and tar flavors add depth as this cruises to a lingering finish.
2 x 2013
From a single vineyard, this 2013 is a benchmark from Rocca di Montegrossi. Notes of orange peel and vanilla combine to craft a wine of huge power and potential.
93 Points - James Suckling
Aromas of orange peel, bark and cherries follow through to a full body with chewy tannins. A juicy finish.
2 x 2015
The 2015 San Marcellino displays beautiful structure, with vibrant, elegant tannins accompanied by harmonious savory accents. It’s an extremely well balanced, persistent wine.
96 Points - Vinous
The 2015 Chianti Classico Vigneto San Marcellino is fabulous. Sweet red cherry, red plum, mint, sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, licorice, blood orange and dried herbs all race out of the glass. The Sangiovese is so expressive.
95 Points - Decanter
There is a lot to love in this wine. Enticing red and black currants are demurely nuanced with toast and spice. Ample and mouth filling without being heavy, the palate is abundantly layered with velvety textured tannins. Purity of fruit is preserved throughout and this finishes with mouth-watering salinity.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
A broad, dense red, with ripe plum, black cherry and blackberry flavors, framed by vibrant acidity and burly tannins. Earth, sanguine and tobacco accents chime in.
