Young by Italian standards, this winery was founded in 1973 - so it's no wonder their take on Chianti Classico is modern. Food-friendly with floral, red plum, cedar and liquorice notes with a chestnut element. 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 actual 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.
