Rocca delle Macìe was founded in 1973 by the movie producer Italo Zingarelli who purchased the
estate “Le Macìe”, about 85 hectares of land of which just two planted with vines, and transformed
it into a winery at the very heart of the Chianti Classico area. In 1985, Sergio, Italo’s youngest son,
started working at his father's side and in 1989, was appointed Company President. Sergio
consolidates and develops the paternal company which becomes popular worldwide, gaining many
prizes and recognitions for his wines. As well as benefitting from the valuable contributions made
by his wife Daniela and his sister Sandra, Sergio can today count on the input of his own two
children, Andrea and Giulia, who help to run the business alongside their father.
The company now extends to over 500 hectares with, in total, more than 210 used as vineyards
and 25 as olive groves, subdivided across the company’s six estates: Le Macìe, Sant’Alfonso, la
Fizzano and Le Tavolelle in the Chianti Classico area, Campomaccione and Casa Maria in Maremma
in the Morellino di Scansano area. The winery produces mainly red wines (Doc, Docg, Igt) like
Chianti, Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva and Gran Selezione, Super Tuscans and some
excellent whites.
