It has a lively ruby red colour with a fruity nose that expresses character, freshness and terroir, and is laden with aromas of cherry and violet with hints of a light spiciness. The palate is savoury and medium bodied with good aromatic persistence.

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, 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.

The grapes for the Rocca delle Macie Chianti Classico are selected and picked by hand. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in Slavonian or French oak barrels for a period of 6 to 10 months and aged further in bottle for about one month.

"A pleasant CC with fresh berries, citrus peel and a hint of walnut. Medium-bodied with a fresh, racy feel and light tannins. Drink now."
