It boasts the prestigious mention of “Gran Riserva”, positioning itself as the flagship of the production of the Rocca delle Macie winery, born from the work carried out over the years in the agronomic management of the terroir from which it originates, the cru of Fizzano. Elegance, a wide aromatic heritage, and excellent aging potential are the most important characteristics that best describe the profile of this label.

The “Riserva di Fizzano” is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione that comes from a blend where, alongside 95% Sangiovese, we also find 5% Merlot. Both varieties grow in a single parcel, the cru of Fizziano, which extends over 35 hectares and is rich in sand and skeleton, with a south-west exposure. After the fermentation of the must in stainless steel containers, the wine ages for two years both in French oak barrels with a capacity of 35 hectoliters, and in 225-liter barriques. At the end of the aging process, Rocca delle Macie begins the bottling and marketing procedures.
