Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you toward a wine that embodies the vitality of Tuscan Maremma, the Ornello from Rocca di Frassinello. It is a meeting between tradition and boldness, a glass that whispers stories of sun and earth to you. I am certain it will charm you with its unique character.
This wine takes root in the heart of Tuscan Maremma, a region blessed with a Mediterranean climate. The Rocca di Frassinello estate grows its vines on mineral-rich soils, which nourish the complexity of every grape. It is from this generous land that the Ornello draws its distinctive character, the fruit of a blend designed to express all the richness of its terroir.
The Ornello 2021 is a harmonious marriage of grape varieties: 40% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. After fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, this wine is aged for 12 months in barriques, then refines its personality for 5 months in the bottle. When tasting, you will discover a deep ruby color. On the nose, I detect balsamic notes, roasted coffee and undergrowth, complemented by hints of cherry, blackberry and light nuances of tobacco and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals an enveloping structure, silky tannins and a pleasant mineral persistence, with an intense and harmonious aromatic profile.
To accompany this Rosso Maremma DOC, I suggest pairings that will magnify its flavors. Imagine it with grilled red meats, juicy roasts or traditional Tuscan dishes. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, where its structure and spicy notes will find a perfect echo. It is a wine that invites conviviality, those shared moments where the richness of local cuisine blends with the pleasure of a great wine.
