Description

The Rosso Le Sughere di Frassinello DOC by Castellare is born in Maremma, a land where the sea and the hills blend in an ideal climate for Sangiovese and Merlot, the main grape varieties of this blend. This wine stands out for its aging in steel that preserves freshness and vitality, offering an intense and contemporary aromatic profile.

In the glass it shows a bright ruby color, while on the nose it releases scents of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, enriched by delicate floral notes and a slight spiciness. On the palate it is harmonious, soft, with gentle tannins and a pleasant persistence that invites another sip.

Perfect to accompany grilled red meats, game-based dishes, or aged cheeses, the Rosso Le Sughere di Frassinello represents a perfect expression of the Maremma terroir with a modern and accessible character.

Winery history

Established in the 1970s when Paolo Panerai merged several estates, the winery has combined traditional methods with scientific experimentation. Over time it has introduced modern techniques while maintaining a focus on land stewardship practices.

Production philosophy

Strong focus on the value of the land and native grape varieties, with deliberately low yields to prioritize quality. Agronomic management avoids synthetic chemical inputs and aims for practices that enable wines expressive of the terroir; in addition to wine, the estate also produces olive oil, grappa and artisanal vinegars.

Terroir and vineyards

Located near Castellina in Chianti, the estate has southeast-facing vineyards on mixed soils of calcareous marls and galestro with a low clay content. The natural amphitheatre of the hills favours structured wines suitable for ageing.

Awards and recognitions

International recognition for flagship wines: repeated appearances of "I Sodi di S. Niccolò" in Wine Spectator's Top 100 and high ratings from critics and guides; mentions and awards reported in the company's official communications and in specialist publications.
