Azienda Giulio Straccali

The vines where the grapes for Straccali Chianti grow are located at the borders of the designated Chianti Classico area, mostly in the south-west and included in the province of Siena. While the vineyards have a very similar predisposition to the quality of the Chianti Classico, they are nevertheless out of the designated area. Rocca delle Macìe’s technical team manages them in the same manner in which they do each and all of the other vineyards, including the sustainability practices. The vines where the grapes for Straccali Chianti Classico grow are mostly located in vineyards close to the village of San Casciano, pertaining to an old rental contract, where the soils are characterized by a higher quantity of clay, limestone and sea concrete, giving the wines elegant tannins, salty and fresh flavors. Alfio Auzzi, Rocca delle Macie’s vineyard manager, takes direct care of said vineyards, following all the decisions in terms of fertilization, treatments, tilling of the soils, new viticulture practices, etc. Luca Francioni, Rocca delle Macìe€™s winemaker, takes care of the Straccali wines. He never actually met Giulio but has followed his style of making wines since the beginning: wines with strong roots and linked to the territory, with a great drinkability and that leave a pleasant sensation of the region from which they come.
