Rocca delle Macie Sergioveto

A magnificent Central Italian red wine displaying an intense, deep ruby red color with brilliant garnet highlights along the rim. Masterfully envisioned as a personal tribute to Baron Bettino Ricasoli by the historic Barone Ricasoli estate—the oldest winery in Italy and the modern architect of Chianti Classico—this noble expression is a premium blend driven by estate Sangiovese thoughtfully enriched with a portion of international varietals. Sourced from choice hillside plots rooted in stone-rich argillaceous schists (Alberese) and limestone marls (Galestro), the nose opens with an incredibly rich bouquet of ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, and plum preserves. The complex nose is beautifully supported by regional characteristics of crushed violet petals, sweet tobacco leaf, damp tilled earth, and an elegant kiss of sweet baking spices from balanced French oak aging. On the palate, it balances a structural, full-bodied dark fruit density and a vibrant, linear marine acidity with remarkably firm, tightly knit tannins, concluding in a beautifully long, persistent finish marked by a clean streak of savory minerality.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with slow-braised beef shanks, roasted wild boar, thick-cut Fiorentina steaks, rich duck ragù, or well-aged pecorino cheeses.
