Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi is the owner of Rocca di Montegrossi situated in the Chianti Classico commune of Gaiole. Marco's roots are at the origin of Chianti. His great Grandfather, Bettino “The Iron Baron” Ricasoli, was the first premier of the fledgling Italian Republic and the inventor of modern Chianti. Marco has crafted Rocca di Montegrossi into one of the shining jewels of Chianti Classico. He produces Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico single vineyard San Marcellino, Geremia (a Super Tuscan Cabernet-Merlot blend), a spectacular Vin Santo and some of the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Italy! Not only is Marco a rising star, but a great guy whom we think you will find most enjoyable.
