Rocca di Frassinello

Dunkles Rubinrot. Aromen dunkler Kirsche, Heidelbeere, Milchschokolade und Pfeffer werden durch intensive violette Noten verstärkt. Im Trunk geschmeidig, konzentriert und mit feiner Süße, mit üppigen roten Früchten und dunklen Beerenaromen. Das mittellange Finish mit starken, aber gut integrierten Tanninen und gutem Säure-Zug. Ein sehr beeindruckender Einstiegswein. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is pure and focused, delivering blackberry, black currant, violet and herb flavors. Dashes of mineral and spice add complexity as this glides to a long conclusion." Wine Spectator

"A bright and fruity red with aromas and flavors of plums, cherries and spices. Lots of chocolate undertones, too. Medium to full body and a delicious finish. Some salty undertones add to the complexity." James Suckling

Poggio alla Guardia - der Einstiegswein von Rocca di Frassinello - gibt einen guten Einblick in den Stil des Hauses und das zu einem sehr attraktiven Preis. Gesättigt und dicht mit saftigen, dunklen Früchten, Brombeere und süßen Gewürzen. Ein ehrlicher Tropfen ohne leere Versprechen. SUPERIORE.DE

"Graphite, black pepper and sanguine aromas are matched with plum, tobacco and spice flavors in this beefy red. The muscular frame supports all the elements nicely." Wine Spectator

"I like the aromas of dark fruits with red chili peppers and spices. Full body, firm and chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely fruit at the end." James Suckling

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

"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, 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." VINOUS
