Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby in color, with a broad bouquet of red fruits. It has great substance in the mouth, with soft and round tannins and a long and enveloping finish.
This wine pairs well with full-flavored pasta and rice dishes. Also recommended with poultry such as duck.
Blend: 50% Sangioveto, 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon

James Suckling
Aromas of ripe dark berries, plum skin and blueberry jam with hints of blue flowers, dried oranges, spices and cedar. Juicy and tense on the palate, with firm tannins and impressive fruit concentration. Succulent and easy to drink. Drink now or hold.

Vinous
The 2022 Le Sughere di Frassinello is bold, racy and super-expressive right out of the gate. Black cherry, spice, leather and a kiss of French oak open first. This aromatic, inviting coastal red has so much to offer in its engaging personality.

Wine Spectator
Black currant, earth, graphite and tobacco notes mark this supple, fluid red, which offers a sense of elegance as dusty tannins emerge on the moderately long finish. Sangioveto, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2027.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
