Numero Otto Rosso toscano IGT (our last creation)
This wine is at its first year of production in pureness, since previously it was used for the additional blending of the Chianti Santa Caterina. As from vintage 2003, we decided together with our winemaker Luca D’Attoma to produce Santa Caterina from Sangiovese grapes in pureness and to give it a try with Canaiolo, produced in a low yield per vine like we already do for 
“Il Brecciolino” and “Il Castelvecchio Riserva” and applicating very accurate fermentation techniques. 
We believe that Canaiolo is an underestimated vine, since its fruits are able to express in their semplicity an incredible freshness and intensity and a good structure, although not too interfering with regard to the agreeableness and the fact that it is immediate drinkable, which is fundamental for this type of wine. Our aim is to try to transfer emotions to the one who drinks and at the same time make him understand our territory through the autocthonous vines of which the immense potentiality and diversity are so characteristic. The name OTTO is connected to three factors : it is the eighth wine from Castelvecchio – it has eight months of aging in barriques – Otto is the latest arrival in the family Rocchi : a lovely Golden Retriever puppy ! 

Il Castelvecchio: Excellent example of a non indifferent Chianti wine, thanks to its rather evident fatness of fruit, rich and well distributed perfumes, a solid body without being oppressive, which contributes to a nice drinkability. The style becomes more modern, without though betraying the evident characteristics of the local product and thus the tannins appear in evidence without interfering too much.

Chianti Santa Caterina: A confirmation, this one from Filippo Rocchi, who manages also this year to produce a Chianti of great pleasantness. All aimed at an easy drinkability, sincere and fruity perfumes, with cherry as the main character and a nervous yet no agressive structure. An excellent example of a well made traditional product.
