Rocca Delle Macìe Chianti Classico DOCG

Rocca delle Macìe was founded in 1973 in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region and has become one of the area’s most recognized producers. The estate focuses on combining traditional Tuscan winemaking with modern vineyard management, producing wines that express the character of Sangiovese and the rolling hills of Chianti.

Chianti Classico DOCG is centered on Sangiovese, often supported by small amounts of other permitted red varieties depending on the blend. Vineyards are planted on galestro and limestone-rich soils, which contribute freshness, minerality, and structure.

Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, followed by ageing in a combination of oak barrels and larger casks to soften tannins and add subtle spice while preserving the wine’s regional identity.
