About Rocca Delle Macie Wines
Rocca delle Macìe was created in 1973, when Italo Zingarelli – producer of the film C’eravamo tanto amati by Ettore Scola as well as the very popular ‘Trinity’ film series starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including They Call Me Trinity and Trinity is Still My Name) – decided to fulfil his lifelong dream with the purchase of the 93-hectare Le Macìe estate, only two hectares of which were under vine at the time, bringing it to life as a wine-growing estate in the heart of Chianti Classico. Italo was a generous man who loved life, gifted with insight and farsightedness, and a noble example of a self-made man.
Bucking the trend to flee the countryside in search of work in the city, Italo buys a 14th century hamlet near Castellina in Chianti and subjects it to careful architectural renovation, fulfilling a lifelong dream he shares with his wife: a wine-growing estate in the heart of Tuscany, Rocca delle Macìe.
