On the palate

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.

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.

Rocca Delle Macie Chianti Classico Tenuta Sant’Alfonso is one of the winery’s best-established wines and one of the two prestigious crus produced today with 100% Sangiovese grapes cultivated exclusively on the Sant’Alfonso estate. Based on the studies and experiments conducted in the vineyard, it emerged that the most clay-rich and least gravelly soils of this estate, combined with the use of specific clones of Sangiovese, caused the grapes to develop and mature with a higher concentration of polyphenols and aromatic substances. Chianti Classico Tenuta Sant’Alfonso is fermented using the most advanced techniques to preserve the grapes’ natural concentration.
