Description

Vernaiolo is one of the longest-standing members of the Rocca delle Macie family, and has always served as the winery’s most traditional example of Chianti. Its name derives from the Latin vernale, meaning ‘of spring’ and indicating the period of the year in which the Chianti, having got through the winter, was bottled. Still today, this lively ruby-red wine is ready to be consumed in the spring following the harvest, and retains its fresh and fruity characteristics for a long time.

Rocca delle Macie

The history and philosophy of Rocca delle Macìe are inextricably linked to the union and importance of the Zingarelli family. Their dedication and passion, for the land and for wine have been handed down from father to son and continue to be nurtured for the next generations. Rocca believe a wine should not only be ‘good to drink’ but also ‘good to think’ and therefore talk about.

Tuscany

Tuscany, one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, is celebrated for its exceptional and diverse wines. Known for its picturesque landscapes and ideal climate, it benefits from a range of terroirs, from rolling hills to coastal areas. The area is particularly famous for its red wines, notably Chianti, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, which offer bright acidity, cherry flavours, and earthy undertones. It also produces prestigious wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, a full-bodied red with complex flavours and excellent ageing potential, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. For whites, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is noted for its crisp, refreshing character. Tuscany blends traditional winemaking with innovative techniques, offering a rich and varied wine experience.
