2021 Rocca delle Macìe Chianti Classico Famiglia Zingarelli

Chianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more

4/12/2024 - tbar4949er Likes this wine: 84 points

Had this one at dinner with a friend. Yes, I do Olive Garden occasionally… for some reason their Alfredo sauce has me hooked. 🙄

We started with the Shrimp Fritto Misto, then shared a Tour of Italy entree. Not a bad pairing for the meal, since it worked best among the choices we saw there.

While I didn’t expect much from the server, he sadly knew nothing about opening, pouring or keeping the glasses full. I guess that crippled the experience somewhat…

For the wine… pretty standard Sangiovese notes. The tannins overpowered the fruit a bit for my liking, but overall the wine did well cutting though the richness of the meal.

Solid Chianti, red cherries and earthiness. Paired well with vegan Italian, especially cannelloni. Would easily drink again.

Sour cherry is a very dominant feature of this wine. Smooth with a good length of finish. Great with pasta.

Needed a nice value white for the weeknight and here we are. Lovely floral aromas to go with the tropical fruits along with grass, and lemon. Same notes for the tongue along with lemon zest flavours, apple, cream, and pepper. Not bad for $14

Like a simple Chianti that can partner well with a simple pasta and antipasto dish.

Chianti and homemade pizza night. This was more accessible than the 2018. Aromas of black cherry, dried herbs, iron, and potpourri. Tasted cherry, blackberry, salt, tomato leaf, and oak spice. Medium plus acidity and finish. Great deal at the $17.50 price I paid for it..

Something of a let down; not something I was expecting from this address in this vintage. Maybe it was a less than perfect closure. Just blah-level fruit and freshness.

2/23/2024 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine: NR

Decanted for sediment, returned to bottle and enjoyed over 90 minutes. Fairly linear, as many mature wines can be, this is much more earthy than fruity, with the acids sticking out a bit too much for true enjoyment. Drink now, not improving. 12,5% abv. NR

Slow-O for 4 hrs. In the twilight of its life but still, the last glass/sip was best. Consistently good if not entirely fresh (it is mature, after all) and after two hours of dinner the wine was still nicely enjoyable. Leather, sweet tobacco, red berries, soil, etc. Now thru 2025. A nice surprise. 13,5% abv. recommended

This bottle was quite raisiny, port-like. Still decent structure and balance, but the raisins were a bit overwhelming. Better w/ stew. Not as good as the other bottle I bought last year for $20, but still a decent buy.

This seems like it was once good but has already become over-aged. Still drinkable, but the drinking window to 2030 is a big miss.

1/24/2024 - vagrantone Likes this wine: 86 points

Very deep hue, essentially opaque and minimal browning.
nice aromatics with red fruit, white pepper, heavy floral lilac like notes.
The barrel component is well integrated.
It hasn't developed much in terms of tertiary character or perhaps in needs more time in the glass or decanting.
The mouthfeel suggests higher alcohol than the stated 13.5 %, rich texture but lacking a little in refinement. It finishes on a hot and somewhat bitter note.
Retasted the following day. This wine is well past its peak and the aromatics drop off rapidly.

Chianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more

1/23/2024 - Adam Pritzker Likes this wine: 91 points

91-92. Nice deep ruby color. Very nice aromatics of cedar, flint, mineral, smoke, herbs, dark fruits. Medium to full bodied with very nice concentration, good fruit, tannins and acid. Dark fruits, herbs, herbaceous earthiness. Hints of strawberry, raspberry and tomato but much more about dark fruits and earthiness. Long finish now. Drinks well now but will likely improve over the next 1-2 years as the tannins fall. Likely best now to 2027. Great QPR. Much more old world rustic style chianti (but with clean wine making techniques which make it much better than this style was in the past) - this makes it different than the Terra di Seta which is more about clean ripe fruit and no real rustic notes. This is old school chianti in a good way and a must try. Great QPR. I am a huge fan of the TDS and I am glad this one is available. Another good value and good quality Italian.

A bit strident and underwhelming, not so inviting, with the fruit somewhat muted. Medium acidity. I generally don't seek out Chianti Classico as I find the acidity doesn't suit my palate.

Light in color, nice nose, simple red fruit, somewhat innocuous, a touch of earth adds much need complexity, fully integrated, even at this early stage. Paired with veal Marsala!
