Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history and artistic legacy. As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the region has an incredible art and architecture heritage.<\/p>\n
Tuscany is certainly the most famous of all Italian regions for its wines. Sangiovese reigns in all its forms in the vineyards of Chianti but also Montepulciano and Montalcino.<\/p>\n
It is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.<\/p>\n
As a pairing with these wines, Tuscany cuisine is based on simplicity but high quality and certainly topped with Tuscan olive oil, recognized all over the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”18305″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Rocca delle Mac\u00ece was established in 1973 by Italo Zingarelli, the film producer of the highly successful series of films starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill.<\/p>\n
At the time, he purchased “Le Mac\u00ece” estate – 93 hectares, of which only two are planted with vines – in order to establish a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico region.<\/p>\n
Italo passed on his love and passion for the Tuscan land to his three children. In 1985, Sergio started working with his father.<\/p>\n
In 1989, with the help of his wife Daniela, he took over the management of the company. Since then, Sergio, in collaboration with his sister Sandra, has consolidated and developed his father’s company.<\/p>\n
Today, the winery has about 500 hectares. 200 are planted with vines and about 22 with olive trees, divided between six estates.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
One of the winery\u2019s two prestigious and historic Crus. The higher clay content of the Sant\u2019Alfonso vineyards is proof of how Sangiovese can offer different expressions depending on where it is grown.<\/p>\n
