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
This wine has a very strong oak imprint. The 2019 Maremma Toscana Baffonero also shows a strong medicinal or green character with eucalyptus essence that could come from the Merlot, which often shows a minty character, or from the oak. Fermentation starts off in cement vats, and the wine ages in new barrique for 24 months. It's a lot to take in, and the powerful 15% alcohol content is hard to ignore. Baffonero shows inky thick concentration with residual heaviness, sweet brandy and stewed cherry. It exudes heaviness, concentration and oak tannins.
