Rocca Di Montegrossi Geremia
| Vintage: | 2017 |
|---|---|
| Description: | While a benchmark estate for Chianti Classico, their "Geremia" Bordeaux blend of organically farmed Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon excels! Based on tastings, the particularly warm and dry 2017 vintage was clearly great for making an expressive and approachable edition of their super-Tuscan! Aged in Allier oak of various ages for 2 years and bottled unfiltered, this has plenty of texture from the ripe skins, and a surprisingly mouthwatering acidity that's tucked into the powerful fruit. This is a great value from a top winery !. Antonio Galloni; Vinous 97 Points - "The 2017 Geremia is a revelation. It might be even better than the 2015 or 2016, which is saying a lot. Soaring aromatics make a strong first impression. In 2017, the fruit profile leans more into the red fruit end of the spectrum. The warm, dry year yielded a Geremia that is unusually open. I doubt too many of the estate's fans will have a problem with that given how long these wines usually take to open. Today, the 2017 Geremia is a total pleasure bomb. Don't miss it.". This is a reference estate for Gaiole in the southern part of the Chianti Classico, a warmer area with a significant amount of calcareous-clay soils. |
