🍷Rocca delle Macie Chianti Classico 2022 Sangiovese Dry red wine brings a familiar Tuscan pleasure to the table: a dry red led by Sangiovese, with the fruit and structure to accompany a proper meal. The blend combines 95% Sangiovese with 5% Merlot, and the grapes come from estates within the historic Chianti Classico zone. With its ruby colour and expressive berry character, this is a bottle to open when dinner deserves a little more attention.
🌿 The Zingarelli family founded Rocca delle Macie in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli turned his passion for Tuscany into a wine estate. That connection between family, place and hospitality still gives the wine an appealing story. For a friend who enjoys Italian reds, or a shared evening built around good food, Chianti Classico offers a clear sense of where the wine comes from.
🍒 Rocca delle Macie Chianti Classico 2022 Sangiovese Dry red wine - Wild berries and oak spice shape the bouquet. The 2022 vintage also shows raspberry, tart cherry and orange peel, with earthy herbs and coffee nuances adding depth. Refined tannins frame the fruit, and freshness carries the flavours through the finish. The result feels equally at home beside a comforting pasta dish or a carefully prepared roast.
🪵 Selected grapes undergo 12–14 days of skin contact. After fermentation, the wine matures in Slavonian or French oak barrels for 6–10 months, followed by further bottle ageing. Serve at 16–18°C with meat pasta, poultry or red meat dishes. The 750ml bottle contains 13.5% alcohol and uses a cork closure. This 2022 vintage earned a Gold medal at the 2025 Rodeo Uncorked! International Wine Competition.
