Rosato Toscana IGT 2020 – Rocca di Montegrossi

The Rosato Toscana IGT 2020 from Rocca di Montegrossi encapsulates the essence of Tuscany’s prestigious winemaking tradition, offering a sophisticated and nuanced interpretation of the region’s rosé wines. This vintage stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and the winery’s commitment to highlighting the intrinsic qualities of the Sangiovese grape, the cornerstone of this exquisite rosé. Harvested from the lush vineyards nestled in the Monti in Chianti area, the grapes are meticulously selected to ensure optimal ripeness and flavor profile, reflecting the unique terroir and climatic conditions of the 2020 vintage.

Upon vinification, the wine undergoes a carefully monitored maceration process, allowing just enough skin contact to impart a beautifully pale, yet vibrant, salmon-pink color. This technique also facilitates the extraction of a delicate array of aromatics and flavors, balancing the Sangiovese’s characteristic acidity and structure with the freshness and approachability desired in a rosé.

The aroma profile of the Rosato Toscana IGT 2020 is a delightful fusion of summer fruits — think strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of peach — intertwined with subtle floral nuances and a whisper of minerality, a nod to the calcareous soils of its vineyard origins. The palate is greeted with a lively acidity that carries these flavors into a harmonious blend, culminating in a refreshingly dry finish that invites another sip.

Rocca di Montegrossi’s Rosato Toscana IGT 2020 is more than a wine; it’s a celebration of the season, encapsulating the warmth and vitality of the Tuscan sun. Its organic farming practices and sustainable approach to winemaking not only enhance the purity and expression of the wine but also reflect a deep respect for the land and its legacy. Perfect for al fresco dining or as a standalone pleasure, this rosé is a versatile companion to a wide array of culinary delights, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Tuscany’s viticultural heritage.
