Rocca delle Macie Roccato 2009
1988 saw the unveiling of the first bottle of Roccato. This wine, conceived and willed into being by Italo and Sergio and based on equal parts of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, represents the essence of the path undertaken by the winery itself.

Indeed, like Rocca delle Macìe, which started out from the tradition of Chianti Classico and has since opened up to innovation without ever forgetting its origins, Roccato represents the encounter of the most typical roots of Sangiovese with the modernity symbolized by Cabernet and by the barriques used for the aging process.

Colour

Deep ruby red with garnet reflections.

Bouquet

Rich in bouquet and persistent, with hints of red berries and spices like cocoa, vanilla and coffee.

Flavour

Warm and well-balanced, with a consistent structure of tannins which support the long finish of the wine.

Pairing
