The 2017 Vecchie Terre di Montefili Bruno di Rocca is a distinctive Toscana IGT crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Panzano in Chianti. Planted on the estate's galestro-rich soils, this wine offers a refined expression of the variety, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum layered with tobacco, cedar, graphite and subtle Tuscan herbs.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and finely structured tannins that provide both power and elegance. Concentrated flavours of cassis, black cherry and ripe blackberry are complemented by notes of dark chocolate, spice and mineral complexity, leading to a long, focused finish. Matured in French oak before extended bottle ageing, the wine is already expressive but will continue to develop beautifully over the next 15–20 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers seeking a structured Tuscan Cabernet with depth, freshness and excellent ageing potential. Pair it with grilled rib-eye, slow-braised beef, roast lamb or aged hard cheeses. Best served after a short decant, with rewarding drinking now or careful cellaring over the next 15–20 years.
