Rocca Di Montegrossi Geremia 2016 (1.5L)

96 VM / 95 FS / 94 WS / 94 JS / 17.5 JR

The 2016 Geremia is even better than it was last year. Fresh, vibrant and full of energy, the 2016 is so wonderfully alive in the glass. The flavors are remarkably intense, and yet there is a feeling of lightness that keeps the wine brilliant. Crushed rocks, menthol, licorice, sage and gravel wrap around a core of blue/purplish fruit. There is something about the 2016 that is magical, many things, actually. Geremia is one of the most distinctive and unique wines in Chianti Classico. The 2016 is absolutely stellar.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

There is a beam of pure, saturated black cherry underneath leather, woodsy, iron, sanguine and rust notes. Bright and firmly structured, with dense tannins. The finish is long and complex. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2023 through 2040. - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator

Blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry, spice, sliced mushroom and dark chocolate on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Firm and focused with a succulent, flavorful palate. Long finish. A blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon. From organically grown grapes.-James Suckling
