Do you remember those nights where you feel a little upset?
The type of days you don’t know if going out or staying at home. The idea of staying alone disturbs you as much as going out with people you don’t really care about.
Suddenly, an idea pops into your head and a subtle smile appears in your face: you now know what can cheer up your mood for tonight!
You grab your phone, you call that number, and a welcoming voice on the other side says: “hey dude, I was about to call you, let’s meet in Cantine Isola in about 30 minutes?”.
You really want to spend some time with that person, your lifetime friend, the friend that never lets you down and with whom, on the worst-case scenario, will spend the whole night talking about endless things. All the gaffes you’ve done in the past, (hangovers included), and other meaningful events you lived together.
This #Magnetic Chianti Classico Tenuta Sant’Alfonso 2015 from Rocca delle Macie is exactly like that friend.
The safe choice, no unpleasant surprises. You will feel like being in Tuscany with every black cherry, violet, aromatic grass scent.
Just like that old friend, who knows how to “behave” and surprise you with that subtle balancing game between sourness and an alcoholic softness, between sour tannin and sweet taste of a mature blackberry. Same as that love and hate feeling in between that joke you always fall for but it makes you laugh and that comforting pat on the back before any challenging experience.
Tenuta Sant’Alfonso di Rocca delle Macie after all, couldn’t afford to make a mistake. It is Sergio Zingarelli’s wine, president of the Chianti Classico Union, who in fact, was helped also by a masterful 2015 vintage, it is a practically perfect wine.
Maybe he inherited the amazing directing skills from his father, the well-known filmmaker Italo? Who knows. What is certain is that he gave us this Sangiovese in a pure state of maturity, ready to give us its best possible flavor.
Drink it with your best friend while eating a delicious Fiorentina steak with roasted potatoes. Nothing new? No, in fact, it isn’t; it’s simply a classic.

Halloween is one of the most amazing festivals ever: witch costumes, terror and treats... but what about the wine? This is why we organized a Wineshow on the trail of terror! Bizarre or monstrously good wines were accompanied by games during a blind tasting event staged in the Tribò coworking hub.
