In 1988 the first bottle of Roccato was born, a wine that, imagined and wanted by Italo and Sergio made from Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in equal parts, represents the essence of the journey made by the company itself.
Today, starting from the 2015 harvest, it has undergone a further evolution: it has become a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with grapes from a single "Poggio alle Pecchie" vineyard planted in 1996.
A wine born in the Chianti Classico area and which, although it cannot be part of it, seems to be chianteggi in its expressions.

Enveloping and velvety wine with rich aromas of blackberries, plums and licorice, it has a good mineral component and a tannic structure capable of supporting it for many years of aging.
