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.
A wine dominated by Sangiovese (90%) with a little Canaiolo, Merlot and Malvasia di Chianti. A fine, subtle bouquet that is moderately spicy this full bodied wine with rich berry-fruit flavours and an ample dose of tannin delivers through to the enjoyable finish.
