The story of Rocca delle Macìe begins not in the vineyard, but on a soundstage in Rome.  Film producer Italo Zingarelli made his name with spaghetti westerns, most notably “The Trinity Series,” starring Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. Emboldened by his success, Italo decided to pursue his lifelong dream of making wine by founding Rocca delle Macìe in 1973.  Son Sergio is now in charge of the business.  They started in Chianti Classico and have expanded their holdings into Maremma (between Bolgheri and Montalcino).  The fruit for SASYR (SAngioveseSYRah) is from their Campo Maccione and Casamaria estates in Maremma.  Aged in French oak barrels for six months.  Blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, balsamic
