Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese conspire to create the 2011 Roccato. Of the two grapes, the Cabernet component is the dominant force. The wine opens to a pretty dark color and offers plump aromas of blackberry and black current. Subtle tones of spice, leather and tobacco appear at the back. The finish is soft and velvety. You should drink this wine within the next two years.

The estate’s top wine, the 2010 Roccato is a 50-50 expression of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that opens with a dark ruby-garnet color and a pretty aromatic display that spans from dried berry and cassis to exotic spice and dried garden herb. This is without a doubt Rocca delle Macie’s most complete and complex wine and the encouraging results of the 2010 vintage are on full display here. The bouquet is especially buoyant and bright. In the mouth, however, the wine offers density, firmness and menthol-laced freshness. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2023. Importer: Palm Bay International; www.palmbay.com

Roccato is a super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers aromas of mature fruit and chewy succulence in the mouth. The wine has structure and firm tannins backed by round notes of Maraschino cherry and blackberry preserves.——M.L.(5/1/2009)—— 91
