Good

Rouge de Maremme signé Castellare, assemblage Sangiovese-Cabernet-Merlot primé par trois guides et vendu 17,52 € au lieu de 20,15 €. La limite tient au profil international de l'assemblage et à l'absence de précision sur les vendanges ou l'agriculture.

The wine

Le Sughere di Frassinello: the vibrant soul of the Maremma

Far from the beaten path, today I'm taking you to discover a red that captures the very essence of Tuscan Maremma. This wine is a caress, an invitation to explore authentic flavors and a terroir story where sea and hillside meet.

Castellare, between the sea and the hills of Maremma

This Rosso Le Sughere di Frassinello DOC is the work of the Castellare estate, nestled in the Tuscan Maremma where the ideal climate shapes wines of rare elegance. It is a region where the land, steeped in sunshine and cradled by the sea breeze, offers a perfect setting for the grape varieties to flourish. This 2021 vintage is a harmonious blend of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, a composition that reveals the full richness of this unique terroir.

When you pour it, you are first struck by its brilliant ruby color, a promise of liveliness. On the nose, it unfolds an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, where cherry and plum dominate, delicately interwoven with subtle floral notes and a light spicy touch. The vinification, with fermentation in steel tanks and maceration on the skins, followed by 12 months of aging, preserves its freshness and vitality. On the palate, it reveals itself harmonious and soft, with tannins of great finesse and a pleasant persistence that naturally leads you to a second glass.

An ideal companion for your table

This Rosso Le Sughere di Frassinello is the perfect companion for your convivial meals. Imagine it alongside carni rosse, those grilled red meats that exude their flavors, or with formaggi stagionati, aged cheeses whose complex aromas will pair wonderfully with its structure. It is a wine that celebrates Tuscan cuisine, but will also elevate more daring dishes. I recommend it for those evenings when you want to share a moment of pure authenticity, a taste interlude that transports you directly under the Maremma sun.
