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

Light stalk yellow with green reflections. Delicate floral and fruity notes on the nose, fresh citrus hints. Balanced on the palate, its good acidity and noticeable minerality give it the necessary juiciness and freshness that does not deny its proximity to the western Tuscan coast. A sophisticated, multi-layered wine that can take on not only shellfish but also Mediterranean veal dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

Ornello is an open wine with beautiful, inviting aromas of ripe, dark fruits and vegetal notes. Pleasantly fruity and full on the palate with good length and balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"A mix of Tuscan macchia, iron, tobacco and soy flavors swirl around the core of black cherry and blackberry in this expressive, intense red. Solidly built and fresh, with vibrant structure driving the long aftertaste." Wine Spectator

Le Sughere di Frassinello is a wine that shows a clear and steady evolution over the years. On the nose, lots of ripe fruit and enormously dense extract. This lush style continues on the palate with plump berry flavours and a round finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Le Sughere di Frassinello is a racy, pliant wine that captures all of the natural radiance of the year. Super-ripe red fruit, hard candy, menthol, licorice, plum, espresso and dried flowers all flesh out nicely in the glass. Best of all, the 2017 will drink well right out of the gate." Vinous

"A bold, spicy wine that shows dried oregano, burnt blackberries, tar and incense. Despite the initial heady impression, the palate is finely woven and precise, framing grainy tannins. Nevertheless, the finish is quite robust and decadent." James Suckling

"Tar, pine resin and eucalyptus aromas are countered by massive blackberry and black currant fruit in this complex, assertive red, with a generous dose of toasty oak. Beefy tannins match the fruit but sit apart for now. Try now for a ride on the wild side, or age short-term." 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
