Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscan Maremma, where the sun caresses generous hills. This is where this wine is born, a vibrant expression of a unique terroir, an invitation to discovery.
I'm taking you to Rocca di Frassinello, an estate nestled in this Tuscan Maremma, a region blessed with a mild climate and fertile soils. This Rosso Maremma DOC, 2022 vintage, is the fruit of a bold and harmonious blend: 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Sangiovese. It is this combination that gives it its depth and structure, revealing the elegant power of its appellation.
As soon as you pour it, you are struck by its intense color, a promise of a rich palate. On the nose, I detect generous notes of wild berries, black pepper and wild spices, interwoven with soft balsamic essences, licorice and tobacco. On the palate, this wine reveals itself as full and velvety, with soft, well-integrated tannins that testify to aging in wooden barrels. The fermentation, meanwhile, took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months of aging in cement vats. The finish is long and pleasantly persistent, a true caress for the taste buds.
This Rosso Maremma DOC is a wine that fully reveals itself at the table. I recommend it with red meats, whether grilled or roasted, where its structure and aromas will pair wonderfully. It will also happily accompany flavorful dishes and aged cheeses. It is the perfect companion for a dinner among friends, an evening when you wish to share a bit of the soul of Tuscany. Let yourself be carried away by this wine that proudly tells the story of its territory's identity.
