Since 1925 the Straccali wine estate in Tuscany, founded Giulio Straccali, has been in the vanguard of progressive Chianti wine producers. Giulio Straccali was an expert enologist, entrepreneur, farmer and wine producer. Known as a conservationist and protector of the traditions of Chianti wines, Straccali was an admired pioneer of the region. He was instrumental in the founding of the Black Rooster Consortium and from 1942 until his death in 1969, served as Vice President. In 1978 Italo Zingarelli, founder of the Rocca delle Macie estate in Castellina in Chianti, as part of his long-term vision for the region collaborated with the Giulio Straccali winery and later purchased the winery and vineyards from the Straccali family.
Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone. The estate now extends to more than 500 hectares (1250 acres) with, in total, more than 200 (500 acres) used as vineyards and 22 (54 acres) as olive groves, subdivided across the company’s six estates: Le Macìe, Sant’Alfonso, Fizzano e le Tavolelle in the Chianti Classico Area, in addition to the Campomaccione and Casa Maria estates in the Morellino di Scansano Area (Maremma).
In Italy’s Lombardy (Lombardia) region you will find some of the most artisan, small production wines, and areas of beautiful unspoiled wine country. Nestled in Italy’s northwest, Lombardy is situated just below Switzerland and to the northeast of Piemonte. Lombardy is a significant gourmet epicenter with the highest concentration of Michelin starred restaurants in Italy. As in other regions throughout Italy, wine production was often tied to religious orders, and many monasteries and abbeys ran a wine business on the side. Today many wineries are located in converted monasteries. DOCGs in Lombardy include Franciacorta (Italy’s best bubbly), Valtellina Superiore (high altitude wines), and Sforzato di Valtellina. Some great DOCs here include Lugana and Garda, while lesser-known DOCs include Botticino (near Brescia), Moscato di Scanzo and Valcalepio (both near Bergamo), and Oltrepò Pavese (south of Pavia).
1 x Ate Pinot Grigio 2023 - South East Australia, Australia
Winemaker "...a zesty white wine that is as refreshing as a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer’s day. Gorgeous wine with punch acidity and flavours of lemons, limes, green apples and honeysuckle."
"Yes it sounds a little like ‘pinot gris’ and yes it tastes a little like ‘pinot gris’ but lordy lord, this pinot grigio is all sorts of different. Dry, lipsmackingly crunchy and clean, it’s got a slightly saline, green olive and jalapeno note – mineral and lean – love it!" (2019 vintage) - Yvonne Lorkin - Independent Wine Writer

Aaron Brasher, The Real Review "Lifted and fragrant aromas of pear drop, baked apple, citrus pith, white flowers and bath salts. Fresh, crunchy and super zesty on the palate. Full of tangy citrus, green apple and talc flavours. Plenty of snappy flavour here."
Aaron Brasher, The Real Review "Very pale and youthful in the glass. Aromas of citrus pith, bath salts, lime leaf and jasmine, very fresh and appealing. The flavours are all tangy lemon, sherbet, racy acidity and a lick of minerality. All very young and crunchy," (2021 vintage)
Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion "Light, fresh and relatively low alcohol, this Luccio PG is fine, refreshing, honest and just a little bit chalky. Not complex, but lovely in summer." (2021 vintage)
Tony Love, Wine Pilot "Cut to the chase: this jumps right out of the glass with fabulous, fresh aromas of cut, green pears, and a waft of bath powders with a light lavender fragrance, which appears in other wines in the portfolio as well. An estate character, perhaps, or vintage? That crisp and crunchy feel follows in the drinking moment as well, like biting into a Pink Lady apple in terms of flavour and acidity, electrifying the senses, building towards mid-weight minerally textures and driving a long, mouth-watering finish. Crazy good grigio." (2020 vintage)
Amanda Yallop, The Real Review "Pale lemon-green colour. A delicate bouquet of pears and spice, quiet flavours of apple pie and ginger tea. The palate is light-bodied, clean and crisp, fine acidity and sleek mouthfeel, the finish is refreshing." (2020 vintage)
Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion "A one-dimensional wine with some spiced lemons and refreshing acidity. On a hot day, you'd have a glass or two." (2020 vintage)
