Production
Hand harvested grapes are selected from Rocca delle Mac��e's best vineyard site in Castellina in Chianti. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barriques and refines an additional one year in bottle prior to release.
Winery
The late Italo Zingarelli, a former boxer and producer of spaghetti westerns, bought Rocca delle Mac��e in 1973 and thus embarked on a career as one of Chianti Classico's more unlikely wine producers. Thanks to his dedication and that of his son Sergio who now oversees the property, Rocca delle Mac��e has become one of Tuscany's greatest wine estates, employing organic fertilization, careful pruning, small oak barriques for aging, and harvesting by hand.
