Baffo Nero Rocca di Frassinello 2019

The wine Baffo Nero is born from a precise desire, nurtured within the walls of the Rocca di Frassinello winery, to challenge the greatest Merlots in purity produced not only in Italian territory, especially the prestigious Masseto, but around the globe. Many are indeed the countries where this international variety expresses itself at excellent levels and for this reason the winery aims for absolute excellence, synthesizing the power and elegance of the Tuscan Maremma in a sip that aims to position itself at the top of the world enology.

This red Baffo Nero is born from the pure use of an international grape variety that, in Tuscany, has proven to adapt excellently, the Merlot. The vines of this variety are cultivated by the team at Rocca di Frassinello using the spurred cordon system, in vineyards located about 90 meters above sea level, characterized by a terroir rich in skeleton and clay. The grapes, after careful selection during the harvest phase, in the first half of September, are vinified in steel at controlled temperature controlled. It then continues with aging, which takes place first for 14 months in first passage barriques, and then, after bottling, for another 12 months directly in glass.

The wine Baffo Nero signed by Rocca di Frassinello manifests itself visually with a deep ruby red color, tending towards garnet at the rim. The nose is dominated by concentrated sensations, where ripe fruit manifests itself tenaciously, alternated with spicier sensations, arising from the aging period spent in wood. On the palate, it has excellent body, energetic and muscular thanks to an evident tannic structure, with a powerful sip, that envelops the palate with warmth and persistence. An absolutely quality label, with which the winery achieves important recognitions, awarded by the main national and international trade magazines.
