Maremma Toscana DOC "San Germano" 2019 - Rocca di Frassinello

A Maremma Toscana red from Rocca di Frassinello, made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a small addition of Sangiovese, locally called Sangioveto. The vines grow on soils with a strong galestro presence, with good exposures, low yields and a comfortable Mediterranean climate. Harvest is manual, with vineyard selection and rapid transport to the cellar. Vinification takes place in steel, followed by 24 months in barrique, 70% new. Deep ruby in colour, it shows mature dark fruit, currant, coffee powder and vanilla. Full-bodied and solid on the palate, with ripe tannins and delicate freshness, it has a persistent, fruity and spicy finish. It suits formal occasions, roasts, red meats, game stews and aged cheeses.
