The estate’s answer to the great blended wines of coastal Tuscany, the 2011 Rocca di Montemassi (45% Petit Verdot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah and 15% Merlot) opens with an inky, dark color and ripe aromas of blackberry pie, dried prune, leather, tobacco, Christmas spice and rum cake. There’s a jammy element at the back. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2022. Rocca di Montemassi is the Maremma estate of the Zonin Group. They have been working with consulting enologist and Bordeaux professor Denis Dubourdieu to enhance the winery profile. Some interesting results have been achieved over recent years.
