Maremma Toscana IGT Baffonero 2016 Rocca di Frassinello

The Maremma Toscana Baffonero di Rocca di Frassinello was born in the homonymous vineyard of Baffonero, one of the first to be planted by the property that is carterized by ideal exposure conditions. Baffonero is therefore one of the first wines to be conceived and developed by the joint venture between Castellare di Castellina and the Domaines Baron de Rothschild-Lafite, the most famous château in the world.

It is produced with 100% Merlot grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand in the first half of September. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks at controlled temperature. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 14 months in new French oak barrels, and for another 12 months in bottle before being placed on the market.

It has an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with hints of blackberry and blueberry, enriched with elegant notes of vanilla. On the palate it is full and complex, pleasantly fresh and robust.

Perfect to accompany stewed red meats and game, it is ideal in combination with spicy cheeses.
