Rocca di Montemassi, Italy
Rocca di Montemassi Winery Video
Rocca di Montemassi is a wine farm nestled in the heart of the Tuscan Coast. Located in the low foothills of Montemassi (Maremma area) between the Mediterranean coast and the hills. The wine produced in this land is very special because of the great local climate with its temperate breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea matched with a mineral-rich soil which produces high quality grapes. The vineyards overlook the fortress of Montemassi, which dates back to the 10th Century and has a long and intense history. This was one of the first Estates in Italy to obtain Equalitas Certification, regards the environmental, social and economic sustainability of wineries, with the support of UIV - Union of Italian Wine Companies. Rocca di Montemassi is the ideal example of a Tuscan farm: alongside the production of wine, there is also the cultivation of ancient varieties of grain, the breeding of the prestigious Maremmana cow, the Cinta Senese pig, horses, and an experimental kitchen garden.

A fantastic, aromatic white grape that grows with great success in Sardinia, Tuscany and in lesser proportions on the island of Corsica. Somm Secret—Vermentino is thought to be genetically identical to Liguria’s Pigato grape and Peidmont’s Favorita. It comprises a large proportion of the whites in southern France where it is called Rolle.

One of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery and history, Tuscany is the world’s most important outpost for the Sangiovese grape. Tuscan wine ranges in style from fruity and simple to complex and age-worthy, Sangiovese makes up a significant percentage of plantings here, with the white Trebbiano Toscano coming in second.

Within Tuscany, many esteemed wines have their own respective sub-zones, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The climate is Mediterranean and the topography consists mostly of picturesque rolling hills, scattered with vineyards.

Sangiovese at its simplest produces straightforward pizza-friendly Tuscan wines with bright and juicy red fruit, but at its best it shows remarkable complexity and ageability. Top-quality Sangiovese-based wines can be expressive of a range of characteristics such as sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs, leather, fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco. Brunello, an exceptionally bold Tuscan wine, expresses well the particularities of vintage variations and is thus popular among collectors. Chianti is associated with tangy and food-friendly dry wines at various price points. A more recent phenomenon as of the 1970s is the “Super Tuscan”—a red wine made from international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese. These are common in Tuscany’s coastal regions like Bolgheri, Val di Cornia, Carmignano and the island of Elba.
