Meet the bottles
1. For a casual weeknight
Rocca delle Macìe : Vernaiolo Chianti 2023
Tuscany, Italy
$38 / bottle · Sale price
Price may change after the sale ends.
Chiara says: "This is the Chianti our family always serves on the dinner table. Bright cherry and raspberry with warm spice, medium-bodied with soft, easy tannins, and it scored 90 points from James Suckling. Good wine doesn't have to wait for a special day."
Pairs with: Pizza, tomato pasta, or a simple charcuterie board
2. For a Sunday roast
Rocca delle Macìe : Chianti Classico Famiglia Zingarelli 2022
Tuscany, Italy
$44 / bottle · Sale price
Price may change after the sale ends.
Chiara's pick in Little Italy Wine Box
Chiara says: "This one has a bit more structure: dried strawberries, orange zest, and a savoury edge of tar and liquorice, with firm tannins that can hold their own against a proper Sunday roast. James Suckling gave the 2020 vintage 91 points. Pour it, carve the roast, and let it breathe."
Pairs with: Roast chicken, grilled sausages, or aged pecorino
3. Great value-for-money
Rocca delle Macìe : Chianti Classico Riserva Famiglia Zingarelli 2020
Tuscany, Italy
$55 / bottle · Sale price
Price may change after the sale ends.
Chiara says: "Two years in oak and six months resting in the bottle, and it shows: dark cherry, plum, and spice, full-bodied with soft, polished tannins. It scored 93 points from Wine Spectator and picked up Silver at both Mundus Vini and the London Wine Competition. High quality and easy on the wallet."
Pairs with: Braised beef, mushroom risotto, or a hard cheese board
4. To impress at a dinner party
Rocca delle Macìe : Tenuta Fizzano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019
Tuscany, Italy
$72 / bottle · Sale price
Price may change after the sale ends.
Chiara says: "Gran Selezione is as serious as Chianti gets, made only from the estate's own best vineyards. Sweet cranberries, plums, and savoury cinnamon, full-bodied with firm, polished tannins, rated 95 points by wine critic Raffaele Vecchione and 93 by James Suckling. I might be the less famous twin, but this bottle isn't messing around."
Pairs with: Bistecca alla fiorentina, wild mushroom risotto, or aged Parmesan
5. For a taste of Brunello
Rocca delle Macìe : Esperienza Numero 8 Brunello di Montalcino 2018
Tuscany, Italy
$89 / bottle · Sale price
Price may change after the sale ends.
Bruna says: "Now we're talking. This is 100% Sangiovese, aged the proper Brunello way: intense ruby red, plums, ripe black cherries, and red berries, with notes of tobacco and liquorice. It is rated 4.3 out of 5 on Vivino. Elegant, concentrated, and built to last, just like a good final set."
Pairs with: Prosciutto, aged bresaola, or a rich beef stew
Taste their entire tribe
Little Italy Wine Box
Chiara says: "I’m the twin in the box, with my Rocca delle Macìe Chianti Classico. Barbara, Barbarella, Amanda and Marcella brought theirs too."
