| Description: |
 |
The name Rocca delle Macie is synonymous with quality and good value. The company was started by film-maker, Italo Zingarelli, in 1973. He began with one hectare of vineyard and out of sheer enthusiasm for winemaking, developed the business, acquiring two prestigious estates, and now cultivates 300ha of vineyards.
The winery is now in the hands of the son, Sergio, who, like his father, lays great importance on the careful selection of grape varieties, careful pruning and the use of organic fertilisers to enhance the maximum ripening of the fruit.
Produced mainly with Vermentino grapes, grown on the sun-drenched vineyards of the Maremma, where the dry, hilly terrain - together with the warm and occasionally droughty climate - favours the successful ripening of this ancient variety. The salty air blowing in from the sea is crucial in the development of the special aromatic qualities found in this wine.
After the harvest, grapes are vinified with the latest controlled fermentation techniques, while a small percentage of the grapes (about 10%) are fermented in barriques. This wine is ready for bottling in the spring following the harvest so it can preserve all of its distinctive freshness acquired during fermentation.
The result is a straw yellow coloured wine showing a great nose of floral and fruity aromas, especially acacia and broom. On the palate it is both fresh and smooth with a slightly bitterish aftertaste.
