Country: Italy / Le Sughere di Frassinello
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Rocca di Frassinello / Maremma
Le Sughere di Frassinello represents a blend of Sangiovese (50%), Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 shows a dark, inky color and alluring aromas of savory spice, mature fruit, plum, cherry and moist pipe tobacco. There’s loads of heft and concentration in the mouth followed by a decadent, velvety finish.
