Rocca Delle Macie Chianti Classico Famiglia Zingarelli Riserva DOCG 2018/2019 (1.5L)

Savvy Wine

This wine was born along with the winery and has grown with it over the years, becoming the ambassador that represents it around the world. As such, it deserves more space than can be allocated to it in this brief description.

The history of Rocca delle Macie is, in actual fact, doubly intertwined with this Chianti Classico, which has evolved over the years both through the changes imposed upon it by updates to the regulations and through the enhancements made in the vineyards thanks to replanting operations, soil analysis and the clonal selection of Sangiovese.

Today, we have arrived at a lively, ruby-red wine that expresses character, freshness and terroir, and is laden with aromas of cherry and violet.

Production Technique
The grapes for the Chianti Classico are selected and picked by hand. They must undergo maceration over the grape skins for 12 – 14 days. Following the alcoholic
and malolactic fermentation, the wine is then aged in Slavonian or French oak barrels for a period of 6 to 10 months and refined further in the bottle.
