Rocca di Frassinello

Ornello ist ein offener Wein mit wunderschönen, einladenden Aromen von reifen, dunklen Früchten und vegetabilen Noten. Am Gaumen angenehm fruchtig und voll mit guter Länge und Balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rocca di Frassinello's 2015 Maremma Toscana Ornello is a well-priced blend of 40% Sangioveto (another name for Sangiovese), 20% Syrah, 20% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine sees a straightforward fermentation in stainless steel and later ages in French barriques for a brief six months. It flows with dark and profound aromas followed by a soft, cushiony texture. The palate reveals sweet flavors of black fruit, spice and smoked meat." Robert Parker

"The 2015 Ornello is alluring, ripe, radiant, totally seductive, and super-expressive. Succulent red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, exotic spice and tobacco notes are given an extra kick of richness and voluptuousness in this racy, engaging red from Rocca di Frassinello." Antonio Galloni

Le Sughere di Frassinello ist ein Wein, der im Laufe der Jahre eine klare und stetige Entwicklung zeigt. In der Nase viel reife Frucht und enorm dichter Extrakt. Dieser üppige Stil setzt sich am Gaumen mit fülligen Beerenaromen und rundem Ausklang fort. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sehr dunkles Rubinrot mit elegantem Schimmer. Intensive und ansprechende Nase mit zarten Würznoten, öffnet sich nach etwas Zeit und es überwiegen dann dunkle Noten nach Waldbeeren und etwas Unterholz. Sehr dicht, mit Weiterführung der in der Nase bereits vorgefundenen Würznoten, gut eingebunden mit viel Frucht, welche den Wein wuchtig mit langem Finale am Gaumen ruhen lässt." Falstaff

"A bright, fruity style, with elements of earth, wild herb and menthol adding interest. Fluid and moderately long, featuring beefy tannins. Sangioveto, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon." Wine Spectator

"The 2015 Maremma Toscana Le Sughere di Frassinello is a great value blend of 50% Sangioveto, 25% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon (aged in French oak for one year). This wine boasts a proven track record for its consistent value and accessibility and can be counted on for both. It releases a steady flow of dark fruit and spice aromas that build in momentum. The mouthfeel is generous and softly velvety in texture, especially in this warm vintage." Robert Parker

"A juicy and ripe red with dried berry and chocolate. Medium body with chewy and soft tannins. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"The 2015 Le Sughere di Frassinello is terrific. Scents of sweet pipe tobacco, mint, leather, rose petal and exotic spice give the 2015 much of its immediate allure. Super-ripe and racy on the palate, with silky tannins and gorgeous, supple fruit, the 2015 is hugely appealing." Antonio Galloni

Rocca di Frassinello, ein eleganter, sehr dicht gewobener Wein mit dunklen Aromen von Brombeere und Blaubeere, Rauch und Leder, flankiert von einer leichten Meeresbrise und Anklängen an die rötlichen Maremmaböden. Faszinierend kräftiger Geschmack, muskulöse Statur, geradlinig, aber komplex, lang und weit im Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubin. Sehr konzentrierte Nase, nach dunklen Waldhimbeeren, Johannisbeeren und Sandelholz. Am Gaumen fest und stoffig, öffnet sich mit dichtem, im Kern geschliffenem Tannin, umwoben von feinem Schmelz, im Finale griffig, auch schöne saftige Frucht." Falstaff

"Sangioveto (otherwise known as Sangiovese) is enhanced with smaller parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to make the 2015 Maremma Toscana Rocca di Frassinello. This wine is showing improved results as the estate's vines grow in age and, consequently, in complexity with each passing year. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, and the wine later ages in barrique for 14 months. It shows enormous richness and power that is delivered in a happily balanced manner, thanks to the ripe and opulent nature of the fruit in this vintage. There is a point of sweetness followed by dark fruit flavors and balanced spice. This wine will continue its evolution over the better part of the next decade." Robert Parker

"Aromas and flavors of mineral, black cherry, blackberry and tar highlight this rich, vibrant red. The tannins are well-integrated. Extends nicely on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2015 Rocca di Frassinello is powerful, sumptuous and deeply expressive. An exotic mélange of raspberry jam, spice, new leather, chocolate, tobacco and grilled herbs gives the 2015 its decidedly flamboyant personality. This rich, heady coastal Tuscan red will appeal most to readers who enjoy racy, bold wines. The oak needs to settle down, but there is certainly plenty to look forward to." Antonio Galloni
