Tasting notes
A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Maremma Toscana Le Sughere di Frassinello is a mid-range Tuscan dark ruby red that opens to generous fruit and pleasant softness. It gives aromas of leather, graphite, sandalwood and pepper before nutmeg, dried currants and other spices and dried fruits come through. This wine shows a touch of ripeness with dried cherry skin and prune, but the results are well-balanced overall, it's medium to full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Rich and fleshy on the palate with lots of black fruit. A flavourful finish.
