Rocca di Montegrossi

From a descendant of the historic Baron Bettino Ricasoli, one would expect respect for tradition and strength in his choices and convictions. Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi’s work goes beyond this in his dedication to rediscovering the region and the essence of Chianti Classico, continually re-examining it and conducting in-depth research on both native grape varieties (such as Pugnitello in the DOCG) and international varieties (Merlot and Cabernet, though in wines other than Chianti Classico). The splendid Romanesque parish church of San Marcellino lends its name to the Gran Selezione, which reveals increasingly intriguing nuances each year.
