Our Chianti Wines – Great Red Wines of Tuscany

Born in the heart of Tuscany, Chianti DOCG embodies everything we love about Italian wine: fruity, freshness, and character.
This historic red, dominated by the Sangiovese grape, delights with notes of black cherry, violet, and spice. It’s a wine that speaks of Italy, of family meals and golden light over rolling hills.

Chianti comes in several styles:

• Chianti DOCG: the classic, supple, and fruity style, perfect for everyday enjoyment. 
• Chianti Classico DOCG: more structured and profound, from the historic area between Florence and Siena.
• Chianti Riserva: aged longer, offering greater complexity and elegance.
• Chianti Classico Gran Selezione: the pinnacle of the appellation, a cellar-worthy wine that rivals the world’s finest reds.

Rocca delle Macie: The Spirit of Tuscany

Founded in the 1970s by the Zingarelli family, Rocca delle Macie has become a pioneer of the Tuscan renaissance. Based in Castellina in Chianti, the estate is celebrated for the purity of its wines and their perfect balance between tradition
and modernity.

At Vinodelice, we’ve selected a full range of their cuvées from the Chianti Classico 2022, smooth and convivial, to the Gran Selezione Sergio Zingarelli 2018, an international benchmark acclaimed by critics. And to extend the experience, try their Tuscan extra-virgin
olive oil, intensely aromatic: the perfect companion for an authentic Italian dinner.
