95+ WA. "The 2006 Geremia is a marvelous, explosive wine that saturates the palate with layers of blackberries, blueberries, minerals, tar, smoke and herbs. The energy and sheer power of the fruit are remarkable, as is the wine’s nuance and polish. All of the elements flow together beautifully in the intense Geremia. The wine’s finesse and sense of balance are unmistakable. This is another gem from Rocca di Montegrossi. Geremia is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 27 months in medium toast Allier oak barrels, 70% new for the Merlot and 100% new for the Cabernet. The oak treatment seems better suited to international grapes than it does to the Sangiovese in the San Marcellino. Varietal character takes a back seat in this distinctly Tuscan thoroughbred that readers will not want to miss." Wine Advocate #191, Oct 2010 |
