50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot
FALSTAFF 93 POINTS - "Intense ruby red with slightly lighter edges. The nose offers plenty of dark spices, nutmeg, cloves, and pepper, with ripe blackberry notes in the background. On the palate, there is greater fruit concentration, a lively acidity, ripe tannins, and a lingering finish."
"The 2022 Le Sughere di Frassinello is bold, racy and super-expressive right out of the gate. Black cherry, spice, leather and a kiss of French oak open first. This aromatic, inviting coastal red has so much to offer in its engaging personality." - Antonio Galloni
We've been following the Rocca di Frassinello estate for years; bring Chateau Lafite into a joint venture on the Tuscan coast with Chianti's much heralded Castellare estate and you have our attention. Time and again, our favorite bottling from Frassinello has been the "Le Sughere di Frassinello." "Le Sughere" is meant as second wine from the large Frassinello estate, next to the more age-worthy top wine simply called "Rocca di Frassinello." However, there is so much more charm and immediate pleasure in "Le Sughere di Frassinello" that we always want to go back this wine.
