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 Macìe is, in 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.
Bright ruby red color. Intense and persistent with hints of wild berries that combine well with the aromas released by the wood of the barrels. The palate is rich, well structured, berry fruit flavors, savory and full-bodied, it highlights the exceptional persistence of the bouquet.
An exceptional match to all meats and kinds of pasta.

A warm, earthy nose of coffee, potting soil and herbs gets some sparkle from a raspberry undertone. On the palate, flavors of orange peel and tart cherry meet the raspberries, while the earthiness lingers in the background. Refined tannins provide structure, while acid brings heat and energy through the finish.
