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.
Italo’s children, Fabio, Sandra and Sergio, dedicate to their father a limited-edition Magnum of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, the apex of the estate’s production, donning a label in tribute to “They Call Me Trinity”. This special magnum represents the completion of a journey begun 50 years ago, when Italo (Roman by birth) fell deeply in love with the hills of Castellina in Chianti.
Vajol is a is a sunny, warm, welcoming valley in the heart of the Valpolicella classica.
The cradle shape, the micro-climate that envelopes it, the ancient stones that generate and support it are the aspects that qualify the uniqueness of its vineyards, its grapes and its wine.
The selected grapes of this balanced Amarone have rested four months in a fruit bed dug in the tufa rock, where the natural process of lilting has come to an end.
Owned and run by the Ciacci family, Tenuta di Sesta is recognized as one of the historical estates in Montalcino. The Ciacci’s rely on traditional ageing in big oak barrels and renewed vineyard management based on climatic changes and in favor of the territory to obtain wines that best express the territory of Montalcino. The Brunellos in particular are marked by exotic perfumes and rich complexities.
The Tenuta di Sesta Riserva has always been the final result of very careful work in the three best Brunello vineyards of the estate. As the Due Lecci vineyards has proven to be the best one for many years now, they decided to dedicate the Riserva to the fruit of this single vineyard. The vineyard has an excellent location on a rolling hill in the south part of the Montalcino territory where all the Tenuta di Sesta vineyards are located.
The Due Lecci Riserva will be produced from the east part (EST) of the vineyard or in the west part (OVEST) depending on the season. The character of the vintage will be defined directly on the label as Brunello Riserva Due Lecci Est or Due Lecci Ovest.
