“Before decanting- or even much of a breathe- the ‘15 Rocca Delle Macie, Chianti Classico Riserva floats right off the glass as if it knew it’d be opened soon. seriously - this is one of the more lush and powerfully expressive Chianti’s I’ve experienced. While blackberries and hints of cherry find their way to the nose- there’s something else there that, even after thirty minutes studying my little book of aromas- I cannot pinpoint! It’s an earthy-yet youthful, “sandstone-y” type of aroma. Which I’m sure doesn’t exist but, whatever- that’s what I got. And very, very much am digging. There is a notable roundness to this wine- both in the nose as well as on the palate. The finish is long and kind of “unwinding” other flavors I missed along the journey of the swig. For its price in particular, I would even invite staunch fans of Brunello Di Montalcino to have a go at this beautifully-expressive & precocious Chianti Classico Riserva from Rocca delle Macie. #PublicofRidgewood, #PublicofPrinceton, #chianti — 6 years ago

Rocca delle Macìe was purchased in 1973 by the late Italo Zingarelli, a former boxer and film producer. Grapes exclusively from the estates of Rocca delle Macie, the Le Macie and Sant'Alfonso vineyards. Ruby with dark berry fruit aromas and oak scents, a blend of Sangiovese (80%) with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Flavors of black cherry and currants with cacao and tobacco notes. Firm tannins that softened after a glass, nice mouthfeel, lingering ending with oak and mineral tones. — 9 years ago

Very light white. Had this at the winery at Rocca Della Macie. Very good for summer or an easy evening. Heidi would like this. — 12 years ago
