2016 Rocca di Montegrossi ‘Ridolfo’ IGT Toscana Magnum

VIN97 The 2016 Ridolfo is a stellar follow-up to the 2015. Dark, rich and super-expressive, the 2016 offers a combination of power and finesse that is immediately captivating. Espresso, blackberry, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice, lavender and cloves are some of the many nuances that gradually open in the glass. The 2016 is approachable now with aeration, but I would cellar it for a few years. Readers lucky enough to grab the 2016 will not be disappointed. It’s a magnificent wine in every way…” 06/23

WS97 An intense red, with black cherry, blackberry, graphite, tar and toasty oak flavors supported by a dense matrix of tannins. Defined by vivid acidity, which keeps things focused and taut on the lingering finish, this should develop slowly. Cabernet Sauvignon and Pugnitello. Best from 2025 through 2045…” 10/22
