The Rocca delle Macìe Chianti Classico 2023 embodies the rich tradition of Tuscany with a fresh, elegant, and authentic expression of Sangiovese. Founded in 1973 by film producer Italo Zingarelli, Rocca delle Macìe has become one of the most respected wineries in the region, crafting wines that balance heritage with modern precision. This Chianti Classico highlights the estate’s dedication to quality and terroir-driven winemaking.
Aroma: Lively notes of ripe red cherry, violet, and blackberry with hints of dried herbs and spice.
Palate: Medium-bodied and vibrant, showcasing flavors of red currant, plum, and cranberry layered with earthy undertones and a touch of oak.
Finish: Smooth and balanced, with fine-grained tannins and a lingering, savory finish.
Grapes: Predominantly Sangiovese, blended with small amounts of traditional Tuscan varietals.
Region: Chianti Classico DOCG, Tuscany, Italy.
Aging: Aged in oak barrels to enhance structure while preserving bright fruit character.
Philosophy: Crafted by the Zingarelli family with a commitment to sustainable vineyard practices and respect for Tuscan tradition.
This vintage represents everything Chianti Classico is known for—bright fruit, food-friendly acidity, and elegant structure. It’s approachable enough for everyday enjoyment yet refined enough for special occasions, making it a versatile addition to any wine collection.
Pair with traditional Italian fare such as pasta with tomato-based sauces, wood-fired pizza, roasted lamb, or aged Pecorino cheese. Its lively acidity and balanced tannins also make it a perfect companion to grilled meats and charcuterie boards.

"A forthright Chianti Classico with cherry stones, fresh violets, licorice, subtle smoke and black pepper on the nose. Medium-bodied, it shows juicy acidity with a supple palate, refined tannins and cherry flavors. Drink or hold." |
