COUNTRY: Italy
REGION: Tuscany
APPELLATION: Maremma Toscana DOC
GRAPE: 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Sangiovese
WINEMAKER NOTES: It is the second-highest Rocca di Frassinello label, bidding to reach the maximum level of the first. A wine of great substance, in which Sangiovese and the international grape varieties of Cabernet and Merlot fuse for an ideal Italian-French creation. Its fifth vintage (2008) was classified as one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines.
TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby colour, with a broad bouquet of red fruits. It has great substance in the mouth, with soft and round tannins and a long and enveloping finish.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Pairs well with full-flavoured pasta and rice dishes, and game such as deer, wild boar, hare. Also recommended with birds such as wild duck.
ABOUT THE WINERY: The Rocca di Frassinello project was inspired by a very simple idea – or should we say a very simple need: to replicate the model of excellence set in motion by the Castellare di Castellina winery in a new region. We set our sights on the central Maremma area, between Bolgheri and Scansano, where a sort of geological foot can be found, with the same characteristics as the Chianti and Montalcino terrains.
