Natalie's Score: 89/100

A Sangiovese-driven Chianti with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Full-bodied with pink florals, ripe black cherries, black pepper, dried sweet tobacco leaf, leather flavours velvety on the palate with a lingering spicy finish.

Chianti Classico food pairings: medallions of veal, grilled sausage, roast chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of strawberry, dark cherry, mocha and dried herbs. Full bodied, with soft, dry tannins, and moderate acidity. Fruit is ripe bordering on cooked, with some dried hints as well. More herbaceous notes on the finish. Enjoy with grilled meats.
Rocca delle Macìe Di Fizzano Riserva 2015 is a single-vineyard, medium-plus-bodied Chianti Classico from the Tuscany wine region. The Italian winery of the Fizzano estate is planted with both grape vines and olive trees (the latter also has a DO Organic certification). Juicy, smooth and delicious with dried cherry, currant, balsamic and fine herb flavours on the palate. Drink or hold. Pair with your favourite meat pasta and tomato sauce dish. - Community Wine Reviews
