Rocca della Macie Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 - 1,5l OC

Rocca della Macie Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 is a distinguished Tuscan red presented in an impressive 1.5-litre magnum with an original case. As the highest classification within Chianti Classico, Gran Selezione represents the estate’s most ambitious expression of the region, combining the elegance of Sangiovese with the structure and ageing potential expected from the appellation.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour with garnet highlights, this wine opens with aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries and violets, followed by hints of cedar, spice and subtle tobacco. The palate is full-bodied yet well balanced, combining concentrated dark-fruit flavours with fresh acidity and firm, polished tannins. A savoury finish brings notes of herbs, leather and spice. The 2020 vintage can be enjoyed now with decanting, but should develop further complexity over the next 8–12 years when stored in suitable conditions.

Production
Produced in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, where hillside vineyards, mineral-rich soils and a warm Mediterranean climate provide ideal conditions for structured, aromatic reds. Gran Selezione wines must be estate-produced and undergo extended maturation before release, allowing the fruit, tannins and oak to integrate. Specific vineyard composition and vinification details for this bottling are not provided, although Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is traditionally centred on Sangiovese.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for Tuscan cuisine, this wine pairs beautifully with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast beef, wild boar ragù, hearty pasta dishes and aged pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C after allowing the bottle to rest at room temperature. Decant for approximately 1–2 hours before serving, particularly while the wine is young; the magnum format is especially well suited to extended ageing and generous dinner-table service.

Founded in 1973 by filmmaker Italo Zingarelli, Rocca della Macie has grown into one of Chianti Classico’s recognised estates while remaining closely associated with the character and traditions of the region. The winery manages vineyards across several important Chianti Classico areas and is known for producing expressive, food-friendly wines that combine Tuscan heritage with careful modern cellar work. Its Gran Selezione represents the estate’s top tier within the Chianti Classico classification.
