What wine is Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 'Tenuta di Fizzano' 2021 - Rocca delle Macìe
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 'Tenuta di Fizzano' 2021 - Rocca delle Macìe represents one of the most authentic and refined expressions of the Chianti region. It is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, sourced entirely from the vineyards of Tenuta di Fizzano, a historic property of the Rocca delle Macìe winery.

The 2021 vintage was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with warm, sunny days interspersed with cool nights, conditions that favored optimal grape ripening. Well-timed rainfall ensured perfect sugar concentration and good natural acidity, fundamental elements for a harmonious and long-lived wine.Winemaking and aging
After manual harvesting, the grapes are traditionally vinified, with controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromas and varietal character of the Sangiovese. This is followed by maceration on the skins to extract color and tannic structure, essential for ensuring complexity and longevity. Aging takes place for approximately two years in 35-hectoliter French oak barrels, with a small portion maturing in 225-liter barriques, imparting finesse and softness to the wine. After blending, the wine rests for another year in the bottle before being released, thus achieving the perfect balance between power and elegance.Tasting notes
