Rocca delle Macie

Refreshing Vernaccia di San Gimignano with beautiful varietal character. White peach, melon and flowers on the nose. Aromatic, delicious and clear in taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliant light yellow cuvée of four white varieties, which play together very harmoniously here. Feminine floral scent of peach blossom and fresh exotic fruits. Medium-weight on the palate, with freshness and of good consistency, soft fruit aromas on the finish. Drinkable. SUPERIORE.DE

Campo Maccione - a pure Vermentino from the sun-blessed vineyards of the Maremma, where the salty air of the sea is essential for the maturation of this ancient variety, as confirmed by the special aroma of the wine. Ten per cent of the grapes are fermented in barriques, giving it a slender stature and a pleasant acidity. On the nose lemony notes and aromas of light fruit and on the palate with a hearty aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright silver with pale straw yellow. Open, flowery nose, after elderflowers and lemon juice, youthful. On the palate juicy and clear, light-footed with a fruity core, flows beautifully, slightly salty in the aftertaste." Falstaff

As the name Sasyr already tells us, this wine is a blend of Sangiovese and Syrah. Only 15 percent of the Sangiovese matures for six months in large oak barrels, the rest comes from stainless steel. Sasyr is a fresh and harmonious red wine for many occasions. SUPERIORE.DE

"A red with violet and licorice character, medium body and a fresh and easy finish. Drink now." James Suckling

Generous aromas of fresh fruit, dried flowers, a light spiciness and moist earth. The taste is beautiful, with just the right tension of tannin, acidity and fruit, as befits a straightforward Chianti Classico. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cherry candy, caramel, but also dried beans, herbs. Fine, sandy tannin in restrained doses, a lot of juiciness, behind the tannin also some melt, mineral notes and with an overall still closed aroma, clear tendencies to spice. Good perspective!" Falstaff

"Mid ruby with orange tinges. Spicy oak over chalky cherry fruit. Compact cherry palate with a fiercely tannic, dry finish." Jancis Robinson

The Chianti Classico from the Tenuta Sant' Alfonso is a very sophisticated wine of very authentic making: red fruits, dried flowers and spices in the fragrance, followed by a firm, juicy taste - all in the right place! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red. Restrained nose, delicate berry fruit, somewhat spicy. On the palate with a compact core and fruity melt, juicy and clear, delicate tannin accompanies the drink, still young, put it away!" Falstaff

"Fresh and clean with dried-cherry and citrus character. Medium body, light tannins and a crisp finish." James Suckling

Traditional Chianti Classico Riserva from a very good vintage: ruby red, intense and refined bouquet with fruity aromas and a very soft vanilla-tobacco touch; persistent taste, well-balanced tannins, well defined body. Has good storage potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark glowing ruby red. Open nose, after raspberries and wild berries, honeydew melon, gentle spice underlines the bouquet. On the palate clear and fine, stretches beautifully, unfussy, medium body, balanced and harmonious until the final." Falstaff

"The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Famiglia Zingarelli is a forward, juicy wine for the vintage. Sweet dark cherry, leather, tobacco, spice, pine, cedar and dried flowers add aromatic nuance to this fruity, forward Riserva. Dollops of Colorino and Cabernet Sauvignon round out the blend. This is very nicely done." Vinous

"A ripe Chianti Classico with plum, light prune and orange-peel character. Hints of mahogany, too. Full body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. Ripe style to this." James Suckling

"Sweet ripe plum and black cherry fruit counter the leather, earth and macchia flavors in this expressive red. Well-built, with dusty tannins and a savory aftertaste." Wine Spectator

Fragrant of berries and wild herbs, also on the palate stylistically flawless, of balanced spiciness, warm and with ripe, red fruit aromas. Very pleasant and long fading. SUPERIORE.DE

"This offers aromas of red-skinned berry, forest floor and a whiff of cedar. The structured palate offers dried black cherry, clove, licorice and mocha flavors framed in firm, fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"One of the highlights in this range, the 2014 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva di Fizzano offers lovely depth and up-front appeal. Succulent black cherry, plum, espresso, smoke, licorice and leather notes wrap around the palate in this juicy, open-knit wine. This is very nicely done." Antonio Galloni

"This is extremely well done for the vintage with dense fruit and lots of chocolate, berry and hints of walnut. Medium to full body, juicy undertones and a long and flavorful finish." James Suckling

With this vintage Sergioveto from the vineyard Pian della Casina is for the first time a real Chianti Classico Riserva and is also made from 100% Sangiovese. Bright ruby red. Warm, balsamic bouquet of black cherry, some plum and blackcurrant syrup, on the palate then firm, complex and spicy. The fruit is beautifully present and has a wonderfully long finish with notes of leather and sweet tobacco. The well structured tannins perfectly round off the overall picture of a serious red with personality and character. The 20/24 month aging in French oak barrels (25-35 hl), followed by another year in the bottle, enriches the aromatic complexity of the wine with a clear focus on balance and elegance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Chocolate, rum raisins, intense herbal notes. In the mouth dense, almost fleshy, mineral grounded, has body sweetness on the basis of a very tight tannin structure. And takes time." Falstaff

"The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Ser Gioveto brings together all the elements of Sergio Zingarelli's philosophy. Plush and radiant, with striking textural richness, the Ser Gioveto has plenty to offer, with a forward, plush personality that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. Sweet tobacco, cedar, leather and new oak accents are nicely done. The rich, dense style works well here." Vinous

"I love the balance here between freshness and concentration, embodied by the interplay of dried berries, sandalwood, fresh violets, blueberry cake and spices. Very refined and silky on the palate, which the acidity does well to spice up and energize. Medium to full body and a medium-chewy finish." James Suckling

"A wonderful expression of Sangiovese, featuring a core of cherry flavors allied to leather, iron, sandalwood and tobacco notes. Shows sweetness midpalate, backed by a muscular structure. Fine length." Wine Spectator

Deep purple. Spicy Cabernet nose of herbs, fine blackberry notes, some chocolate and wild raspberries. The pronounced fruit carries this monumental, pure Cabernet Sauvignon to the long final. The tannins provide a stable framework and give this wonderful red a long life. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, noble ruby. In the nose it shows beautiful notes of ripe cassis, delicate smoke and fine spice, in the aftertaste it reminds of honeycomb. On the palate with a fresh entry, pithy, tightly woven tannin, spreads widely, good length with a slightly mineral aftertaste." Falstaff

"Rocca delle Macie's 2015 Roccato, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is plush and inviting. Black cherry, chocolate, espresso, menthol, licorice and cloves all race out of the glass in a sumptuous, racy Cabernet Sauvignon that hits all the right notes. Medium in body and expressive, the 2015 has plenty to offer." Vinous

"A thickly textured red, boasting plum, fruitcake, milk chocolate, leather, earth and spice notes. Dense, tannic and rigid on the finish for now." Wine Spectator

"Very nicely done on the nose with a wealth of brambleberries, dark cherries, mocha, dark chocolate, licorice and bay leaf. Full-bodied and really delicious, carrying layers of dark fruit through succulent and polished tannins. Drink from 2021." James Suckling

Bright red with ruby reflections. Blueberry and cherry, hints of plums, leather and spicy notes. In the taste nuances of hazelnut, fleshy-full notes. Mineral and persistent in the finish. A great wine! SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, bright ruby red with a shiny core. Fine nose of very ripe cherries, dried rose petals and delicate violets. A very smooth palate, enveloped in velvety tannins and a juicy draft, spans a wide arch and slowly builds up in many layers, remarkable elegance, great finish". Falstaff

"This red shows red plums, raspberries and hints of light cedar. Medium to full body, soft and juicy tannins and a nice finish." James Suckling

"The team at Rocca delle Macìe hits an impressive stride with the 2014 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sergio Zingarelli. This was not an easy growing season, but a commitment has evidently been taken here to severely limit fruit selection to only the best clusters. The wine opens to dark fruit tones of dried cherry and blackberry with spice, leather and tar. You also get that unique aroma of crushed stones that is so specific to Chianti Classico." Robert Parker

"This shows richness and breadth, featuring notes of plum, coffee, iron and leather, punctuated by cherry hints and tangy acidity. Finishes firm and dense, with a fresh feel." Wine Spectator
