Rocca di Frassinello

Dark ruby red. Aromas of dark cherry, blueberry, milk chocolate and pepper are enhanced by intense violet notes. In the drink smooth, concentrated and with a fine sweetness, with rich red fruits and dark berry aromas. The medium length finish with strong but well integrated tannins and good acidity. A very impressive entry wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a compote-dominated red with raspberry fool and candied strawberries. Full-bodied and round with plenty of ripe fruit and sturdy tannins." James Suckling

Bright straw yellow with green reflexes. In the nose delicate notes of flowers and fruit, fresh citrus notes. Balanced on the palate, its good acidity and perceptible minerality give it the necessary juiciness and freshness, which the West Tuscan coast does not deny. It is a sophisticated, multi-layered wine, which is not only able to compete with crustaceans, but also with Mediterranean veal dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Ornello is an open wine with beautiful, inviting aromas of ripe, dark fruit and vegetable notes. The palate is pleasantly fruity and full with good length and balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh, packed with black cherry and blackberry flavors, this red is polished and dense. Licorice, spice and tar accents add interest as the aftertaste lingers." Wine Spectator

"The 2016 Ornello is once again the hidden gem in this lineup in 2016. Rich and boisterous on the palate, the 2016 offers up serious resonance. The blend of Sangioveto, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah works especially well here. Dark cherry, chocolate, spice and licorice build into the ample, creamy finish. If I could only choose one wine from this range to drink, it would be the Ornello without question." Vinous

Le Sughere di Frassinello is a wine that has undergone a clear and constant evolution over the years. In the nose much ripe fruit and enormously dense extract. This lavish style continues on the palate with full-bodied berry aromas and a round finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Le Sughere di Frassinello is laced with bright red cherry, plum, white chocolate and floral notes. Medium in body and gracious, Le Sughere is quite pretty in 2016. The new oak needs time to fully assimilate. Otherwise, this is very nicely done. Time in the glass helps the wine come together." Vinous

"A juicy red with cherries, chocolate and some orange character. Medium body, round tannins and a flavorful finish. Delicious aftertaste." James Suckling

"Wild rosemary, thyme and camphor aromas lead off, with concentrated flavors of blackberry and black currant. An iron edge sinks in as this unfolds to the long, staining finish." Wine Spectator

Rocca di Frassinello, an elegant, very densely woven wine with dark aromas of blackberry and blueberry, smoke and leather, flanked by a light sea breeze and hints of the reddish Maremma soils. Fascinatingly strong taste, muscular stature, straightforward but complex, long and wide aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Rocca di Frassinello is superb. In fact, the 2016 may be one of the very best vintages of this wine I have ever tasted. Fresh, nuanced and beautifully delineated, the 2016 is all class. Dark cherry, chocolate and spice are some of the many nuances that open up in the glass, but more than anything else, the 2016 is a wine of balance and total harmony, with all of its elements already in harmony." Vinous

Rocca di Frassinello, an elegant, very tightly woven wine with dark aromas of blackberry and blueberry, smoke and leather, flanked by a light sea breeze and hints of the reddish Maremma soils. Fascinatingly powerful palate, muscular stature, straightforward but complex, long and wide on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich, fruity red with plum, chocolate and walnut character. It’s full-bodied with lots of round tannins and a savory finish." James Suckling

"The headline wine from Rocca di Frassinello is this hearty blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It represents a selection of the best fruit from across the estate. The 2018 Maremma Toscana Rocca di Frassinello is a darkly concentrated expression with dark plum, bitter chocolate, spice, leather and cured tobacco. This is a very concentrated and savory expression that draws out the richness and the textural structure of your textbook Tuscan red." Robert Parker

"The 2018 Rocca di Frassinello is a bold, exotic wine. Ripe red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon and rose petal are all kicked up in this flamboyant Maremma red. Plush fruit and silky tannins add to its considerable appeal. Hints of sweet pipe tobacco, cedar and mint appear over time, adding striking inner perfume and sweetness." Vinous
