This \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a deep aromatic profile, with notes of black cherry, plum and ripe red berries, enhanced by hints of balsamic, tobacco and sweet spices. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003estructured and harmonious\u003c\/strong\u003e, with lively freshness and \u003cstrong\u003esoft, silky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that provide a pleasant roundness. The finish is long and persistent, with a delightful return of fruity and spicy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Gavorrano, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, on hills about ninety metres above sea level. The vineyards thrive on \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured soil rich in stones\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose stony component is essential for determining the quality and density of the tannic structure. The area's \u003cstrong\u003ewarm and dry climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, with average temperatures higher than other Tuscan districts, encourages full and early ripening of the grapes. These environmental conditions result in a wine glass capable of expressing a natural \u003cstrong\u003eintensity of flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e, while maintaining impeccable balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest is carried out by hand at the beginning of September. To enhance the identity of each variety, the grapes undergo \u003cstrong\u003eseparate vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e in stainless steel tanks, with temperature-controlled fermentation for about fifteen days, followed by malolactic fermentation. Ageing continues for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, with eighty percent new wood, and concludes with a final rest of eleven months. This careful process gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003evelvety texture\u003c\/strong\u003e, in which freshness and structure are perfectly integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the prestigious collaboration between Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite and Cantina Castellare, this \u003cstrong\u003eMaremma Toscana DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e originates from a splendid winery designed by Renzo Piano. In 2021, a warm and dry climate ensured the perfect ripening of the grapes. Described as a true \u003cstrong\u003ewine for great competition\u003c\/strong\u003e by Christian Le Sommer, who created it together with Alessandro Cellai, it harmoniously combines strength and elegance. Ageing in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e gives it a rare depth, revealing itself as rounded, structured, and with an exceptionally long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rocca di Frassinello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45191638286507,"sku":"56990","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/rocca-di-frassinello-maremma-toscana-rosso-2021_56990_1_2ba61eba-37be-4f24-b778-2bd271f7d100.webp?v=1773769065","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/rocca-di-frassinello-maremma-toscana-rosso-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
