Rocca delle Macìe Tenuta Sant'Alfonso Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 reveals a particularly elegant interpretation of Tuscany's most iconic red grape, offering generous fruit, refined structure and an inviting richness that distinguishes this historic single-vineyard wine.

As one of Rocca delle Macìe's two historic crus, Tenuta Sant'Alfonso offers a compelling expression of how a single grape variety can reveal remarkable individuality through its terroir. Following careful fermentation to preserve the grapes' natural concentration, the wine matures for approximately one year in large French oak barrels, allowing its rich fruit, elegant spice and refined structure to develop in beautiful harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn intense ruby-red colour introduces a rich, expressive bouquet of ripe red fruit, delicately complemented by inviting notes of spice.
