Certainly the most expensive wine in this tasting, the Rocca di Frassinello 2018 Maremma Toscana Baffonero is a wine of big ambitions. However, it follows an old stylebook that sees Merlot presented in a very rich, voluptuous and extracted style that is beginning to tire the market. The wine is impeccably made, with lots of dark cherry, cedarwood and smoky mahogany. With 15% alcohol, it has embraced the sunshine along the Tuscan Coast. If you're in the mood for an inky, rich, warm-climate Merlot, Baffonero is for you.
