Established in 1973 by acclaimed Italian film producer Italo Zingarelli, Rocca delle Macìe totals 600 hectares (1,500 acres) across six estates in Tuscany. Led today by Italo's son Sergio, his wife Daniela and two children, Rocca delle Macìe is one of Tuscany's leading wine estates. Sasyr, as its name suggests, is a singular and sublime blend of Sangiovese and Syrah grapes from the Tuscan vineyards of Rocca delle Macìe.

Produced with carefully selected grapes harvested at an excellent state of ripeness in the Maremma area close to Grosseto. The winery practices Integrated viticulture, using the minimum quantity of pesticides, no chemical herbicides and using only organic fertilizer.

A controlled temperature fermentation allows the intense color and primary aromas to be preserved. All the Syrah wine ages in small French oak barrels, 1/3 new, for about six months. The blended wine then refines further in the bottle for a minimum of six month.

Very intense and complex aroma, with fruity flavors of cherry, blackberry, raspberry and spices finish. Smooth taste with a good structure with notes of tobacco, chocolate and vanilla, it has a pleasant freshness and a long persistent aromatic finish.
