Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when Italo Zingarelli – former movie producer of Ettore Scola’s We All Loved Each Other So Much, and also of the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 85 hectares in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.

The company estate now extends to more than 600 hectares with, in total, more than 200 used as vineyards and 80 as olive groves, subdivided across the company's six estates: Le Macìe, Sant'Alfonso, Fizzano e le Tavolelle in the Chianti Classico zone, in addition to the most recent in the Morellino di Scansano zone.

Moreno Wines — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:01:32 +0000

Undurraga TH Pinot Noir Leyda 2010 has won the Gold Medal Best in Category Pinot Noir at the 9th Annual Wines of Chile Awards. We are very proud to share the news with you as we've always be fond of this Pinot Noir.

Ripe and fruity but also complex and structured with the minerality tipycal of the Pinot Noir from cool climate.

Rafael Urrejola is the winemaker of the awards winning TH range of Undurraga. Of the same range the Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc have won awards too in the last 3 years.

The Leyda Valley is a sub-region of San Antonio, only 11Km from the Pacific Ocean which has a cooling effect on the vines and which makes the average summer temperature not higher than 26 degrees. This ensures slow ripening and the development of intense, fresh flavours aromas, together with lower potential alcohol content.
