Rocca delle Macìe Roccato

Truly a work of art from Tuscany, this wine embellishes all the senses. It’s the kind of wine you want to sniff time after time. The wine literally shimmers with a beautiful opaque violet tone that dramatically displays a complex arrangement of deep forest scents, harmoniously blended with a potpourri of succulent, dark fruits. A fine rendition of the mass appeal of Sangiovese and glory of Cabernet Sauvignon.

50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 50% Sangiovese. Full-bodied and toasty. The late Italo Zingarelli, a former boxer and producer of spaghetti westerns, bought Rocca delle Macie in 1973 and thus embarked on a career as one of Chianti Classico’s more unlikely wine producers. Thanks to his dedication and that of his son Sergio, who now oversees the property, Rocca delle Macie has become one of Tuscany’s greatest wine estates, employing organic fertilization, careful pruning, small oak barriques for aging, and harvesting by hand.
