PRODUCTION AREA
Chianti Classico

2003 has been the hottest season we can recall with an the exceptional heat wave in the summertime. The accurate vine growing including a drastic green harvest have permitted the bunches to survive by retaining vital resources during the delicate phase of the growing cycle.
On September, the vines were finally blessed by little rain and a drop in temperatures night-time, which had contributed to the perfect ripening of the red grapes.
The harvest was started on September 15th and was concluded on October 3rd.

Again this vintage shows the typical characteristics of the Rocca Guicciarda. This wine display a well balanced structure, intense and deep colour, a sharp-cutting fruity bouquet, a velvety and elegant body with a long lingering aftertaste.
