Rocca Di Montegrossi

Chianti Classico’s Finest: Rocca di Montegrossi

Rocca di Montegrossi is nestled in Monti, a prime area of Chianti Classico, where this renowned wine region originated. The estate is situated on a smaller plateau within the broader Chianti Classico area, with elevations ranging from 350 to 510 meters and south to southwest-facing slopes. The cellars are conveniently located near a charming Romanesque Church. Spanning over 100 hectares, the estate features a harmonious blend of forests, vineyards, and olive groves.

Viticulture at Rocca di Montegrossi

With nearly 20 hectares of vineyards, Rocca di Montegrossi cultivates grapes in loamy calcareous soils at an ideal altitude. The estate primarily focuses on traditional Chianti varieties, with Sangiovese as the star grape, complemented by Merlot and smaller quantities of Pugnitello, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malvasia Bianca, Colorino, and Canaiolo. The best grapes are selected for crafting red, rosé, and dessert wines, ensuring each bottle reflects the unique terroir and elegance of the estate.

Organic Practices Since 2010

Rocca di Montegrossi transitioned to organic farming in 2006 and has been certified organic since 2010. The winery prioritizes environmental sustainability through energy conservation and resource reuse, promoting the health of both the vineyards and the surrounding ecosystem. Grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in oak vats, followed by aging in tonneaux and oak casks. Beyond its exceptional Chianti Classico and Toscana wines, the estate is celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes and serene beauty.
