Rocca Delle Macie, Chianti Classico 2022
DESCRIPTION
From the historic heart of Tuscany, this Chianti Classico from Rocca delle Macie embodies excellence and Italian winemaking tradition. Crafted primarily from the Sangiovese grape, this wine displays a deep ruby color with garnet reflections. Its intense and complex nose reveals aromas of ripe red fruits, notably cherries and plums, intertwined with notes of sweet spices and undergrowth. On the palate, the attack is full and silky, giving way to well-balanced tannins. The finish, long and elegant, is marked by notes of candied fruits and a characteristic balsamic touch.
REGION
Tuscany
Italy
Tuscany is Italy's third most vine-planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both its poor soil and deliberate efforts to limit yields but increase the quality of the wine. After Piedmont and Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines, while Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.
