The 2001 Chianti Classico Riserva Rocca Guicciarda, a deep ruby-garnet, features berry fruit and chocolate in a medium to full-bodied style with additional flavors of graphite and minerals. Tasty and well sustained, it will drink well for another 7-8 years. The only question here is why so little interest and attention is given to Sangiovese – driving up to the place where one of Italy’s major wines was born through rows of Merlot is a slightly disconcerting experience, to say the least.
