Our opinion

Awakening the senses in the heart of Tuscan Maremma

Imagine yourself at the top of a hill, the sea breeze caressing your face, the view stretching endlessly to the sea. That is the invitation I extend to you today, a sensory immersion within the Rocca di Frassinello, an estate where Etruscan history and winemaking excellence meet.

Discovering the secrets of an exceptional vineyard

Your journey begins on a majestic terracotta terrace, offering a 360° panorama over the green hills of the Maremma. From there, you will plunge into the intimacy of the Barricaia, a cellar carved into the rock where nearly two thousand barrels rest in the darkness, cradles of future great crus. You will then explore the winery, a witness to the winemaking process, before letting yourself be surprised by the Etruscan Documentation Centre, housing the treasures discovered on the estate, remnants of the San Germano Necropolis.

The Rocca di Frassinello is the fruit of a unique Italian-French collaboration, cultivating nearly 90 hectares of indigenous grape varieties such as Sangioveto and Vermentino, alongside international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. It is here that bold blend wines are born, with the exception of the Baffonero, a pure Merlot that rivals the greatest. After this fascinating exploration, you will have the privilege of taking part in a guided tasting of four Maremma Toscana DOC wines in the modern Pavilion, an experience that will awaken your palate to the nuances of this unique terroir.

An enchanted interlude for lovers of authenticity

This experience is a true ode to Tuscan authenticity, a rare opportunity to understand the complexity and richness of Maremma wines, while connecting with the millennia-old history of this land. If you are seeking a cultural and tasting immersion, far off the beaten track, this visit to the Rocca di Frassinello is made for you. It is an invitation to savour the beauty, history and flavours of a secret and generous Maremma.
