Description

The aromatic richness and structure of a Tuscan red wine

The estate

The Rocca di Frassinello estate is the fruit of the partnership between the highly reputed Chianti Classico estate, Castellare di Castellina, and Domaines Barons de Rothschild's Château Lafite. Established in 2007 and designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano, Rocca di Frassinello produces fine Maremma Toscana wines.

The vineyard

The Baffonero vineyard enjoys an excellent north/south-west sun exposure and a very pleasant ventilation, which moderates the temperatures between night and day, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while developing their aromatic expression and maintaining a good level of acidity. The soils of the Baffonero vineyard are mainly composed of clay schist and allow for an excellent drainage all while limiting the yields of the vines. These conditions result in exceptionally aromatic and concentrated grapes and a beautiful tannic structure.

The wine

Produced since 2004, Rocca di Frassinello's 2019 Sughere di Frassinello is a Maremma Toscana wine and comprises grapes from the commune of Gavorrano. Its fifth vintage (2008) was included in the Wine Spectator's Top 100.

The vintage

The year 2019 was marked by a particularly cool spring and early summer. The heavy rainfall during the flowering period delayed the ripening of the grapes. The milder conditions from July to September, with noticeable temperature difference between day and night, ensured an optimal ripening of the grapes and gave rise to one of the greatest vintages of recent years.

Vinification and ageing

Vinification in vats. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Aged for 18 months in barrels (50% new) followed by 9 months in bottles.

The blend

Sangiovese (50%)

Cabernet Sauvignon (25%)

Merlot (25%)
