Famiglia Zingarelli Rocca delle Macìe Chianti Classico 2019

Tuscany, ItalyRocca delle Macie was established in 1973 by acclaimed Italian film producer Italo Zingarelli. The property spans 600 hectares and six estates across Tuscany. Rocca today is led by Italo's son Sergio, his wife Daniela, and two children. The winemaking includes maceration of the 95/5 sangiovese/merlot must with the skins for 12-14 days with short but frequent pumpovers to extract colour. Post-fermentation in stainless, the malolactic fermentation goes in concrete before it all rests in large Slavonian oak for 6-10 months. The nose is clean and fresh with hints of wild red berries. The palate is a savoury affair of cherries, leather, mushrooms, and balsamic. It is an easy drinking 13.5 percent alcohol red you can serve mid-week with a cheesy pizza or spaghetti and meatballs.Tasted: 12 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
