Beschreibung
Antonio Galloni | The 2015 Rocca di Frassinello is powerful, sumptuous and deeply expressive. An exotic mélange of raspberry jam, spice, new leather, chocolate, tobacco and grilled herbs gives the 2015 its decidedly flamboyant personality. This rich, heady coastal Tuscan red will appeal most to readers who enjoy racy, bold wines. The oak needs to settle down, but there is certainly plenty to look forward to. 95P Antonio Galloni |
Robert Parker | Sangioveto (otherwise known as Sangiovese) is enhanced with smaller parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to make the 2015 Maremma Toscana Rocca di Frassinello. This wine is showing improved results as the estate’s vines grow in age and, consequently, in complexity with each passing year. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, and the wine later ages in barrique for 14 months. It shows enormous richness and power that is delivered in a happily balanced manner, thanks to the ripe and opulent nature of the fruit in this vintage. There is a point of sweetness followed by dark fruit flavors and balanced spice. This wine will continue its evolution over the better part of the next decade. 93P |

Falstaff | Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubin. Sehr konzentrierte Nase, nach dunklen Waldhimbeeren, Johannisbeeren und Sandelholz. Am Gaumen fest und stoffig, öffnet sich mit dichtem, im Kern geschliffenem Tannin, umwoben von feinem Schmelz, im Finale griffig, auch schöne saftige Frucht. 94P |
