Rocca Delle Macie
Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973 when Italo Zingarelli – producer of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” and also of the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.
Description
Intense ruby-red. Intense and rich bouquet of black-skinned berry, cedar and spices. On the palate, it displays juicy, opulent overtones of sour cherries and blackberries, as well as spicy notes of liquorice and coffee. Its well-balanced, pleasant structure on the palate, leads to a lingering, classy aftertaste.
Food Pairing
Although not classed as a Riserva, its immensely refined organoleptic qualities, generous body and extensive ageability, make this wine most suitable to match full-flavoured entrées such as roasts and game.
