Its weak point in this head-to-head: reconnaissance (7,4). Two James Suckling scores (92 in 2021, 93 in 2020) and a renowned producer, Frescobaldi, but the accolades refer to other vintages than this 2022.

Tosco's word

La note Toscane Cachée de 8,4 contre 7,9 départage net : le premier, à 15,37 €, décroche Tre Bicchieri et des scores 90-92 chez Suckling, Parker et Wine Spectator, tandis que le second, à 21,23 €, s’appuie sur des distinctions qui visent d’autres millésimes que son 2022. Si ton budget est serré et que tu veux un vin déjà consacré, pars sur le premier ; si tu préfères un profil plus balsamique et que l’écart de prix ne te gêne pas, le second reste un Frescobaldi solide, mais avec une reconnaissance moins actuelle. Les deux partagent la même vinification en acier et 24 mois d’élevage, sans bio précisé, donc choisis selon ton portefeuille et ta soif de récompenses.
