Rocca delle Macìe Tenuta Fizzano Il Crocino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG

Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when Italo Zingarelli, a film-maker, producer and director, decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate, in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone and to produce wines that, thanks to their balance between the tannic structure, fruit and pleasantness, can be appreciated by young people and wines that are able to give over the years a great evolution.

Historic cru of the company, it is the expression of grapes from the ‘il Crocino’ vineyard composed of four parcels, located in the highest part of the hill. The entire vineyard extends over 36 hectares on land rich in sand and gravel.
