Ruby red, becoming garnet with age. Displaying notes of blackcurrant and marasca cherries alongside notes of Peruvian pepper and sweet spices. A warm, robust and elegant wine with persistent length.

This wine is particularly suited for red meats, wild game, mushroom and truffles and dry cheeses.

The flagship wine of the zone from which it comes, and the maximum expression of that zone’s particular features, the label proudly bears the Zingarelli name in order to highlight the strong link that the family has with the Chianti Classico area.

It is a result of the selection of the best grapes from the four estates of Rocca delle Macìe in the area of Castellina in Chianti, the blend of the different Rocca delle Macìe “terroirs”.

90% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Colorino. The wine is aged in french oak for 2 years and a further 3 months in bottle before release.

93 points - The Wine Spectator

"Dark in the sensory profile showing notes of black prunes, blackberries, black tea leaves, chinotto and bergamot. Full bodied, soft tannins and a finale of medium smoothness."
