Campo Maccione

The Zingarelli family are not only fierce advocates for the Tuscan terroir — they are one of the most important wine producers in all of Italy, with 600 hectares / 1,500 acres of prime land divided among six boutique estates across Tuscany, including their original property, Rocca delle Macìe, in the township of Castellina in Chianti. The entire operation is fearlessly led by Sergio Zingarelli, along with his wife Daniela and their children Andrea and Giulia. Together, they’ve ushered in a new and ever-evolving era of quality and exploration.

In 1998, driven by their far-sighted entrepreneurial approach, the family’s eyes wandered west, to an area where the winemaking tradition has exceptionally ancient roots — the coastal district of Maremma. They purchased the 80-hectare / 198-acre CampoMaccione winery within the Morellino di Scansano DOCG, aiming to cultivate sangiovese, along with cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and syrah.

Not long after, and wanting to expand their footprint in Maremma, they added the neighboring Casa Maria farm in 2003 — a spot chosen for its exceptional potential for white grapes, particularly vermentino. The estate’s 144 hectares / 356 acres now produce highly awarded wines of quality and consistency; daily operations are overseen by winemaking ace, Luca Francioni, who has been part of the Rocca team since 1989.

Between these prime-sited vineyards in Maremma and their other remarkable properties, the Zingarelli family continues to emphasize the stellar and varied terroirs of Tuscany. And with sustainability at the core of their viticultural approach, they’ll be able to produce exceptional Tuscan wines for generations to come.
