WINE DESCRIPTION

Rocca di Frassinello's Baffonero Maremma Toscana is a superlative expression of Tuscan winemaking, hailing from the prestigious Maremma appellation. This single-vineyard Merlot is a joint venture between the iconic producers of Castellare di Castellina and Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite, bringing together Italian tradition and French expertise. Grown in calcareous clay soils rich in minerals, the grapes benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Rocca di Frassinello Baffonero Maremma Toscana dazzles with its deep, inky hue and a luxurious nose bursting with blackberries, ripe cherries, and a whiff of truffle, elegantly framed by subtle notes of French oak and spices.On the palate, it's an orchestrated symphony of flavors—plush black fruits harmonize with nuances of dark chocolate, anise, and a touch of smoky minerality. The tannins are finely-knit, providing a velvety texture that culminates in a lingering, opulent finish. Balanced, complex, and age-worthy, this wine is a radiant testament to the fusion of Italian terroir and French winemaking finesse.
