Rocca di Frassinello Bianco 2020

A fresh and elegant Tuscan white wine

The estate

The Rocca di Frassinello estate is the fruit of the partnership between the highly reputed Chianti Classico estate, Castellare di Castellina, and Domaines Barons de Rothschild's Château Lafite. Established in 2007 and designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano, Rocca di Frassinello produces fine Maremma Toscana wines.

The wine

Rocca di Frassinello’s Bianco 2020 is a Maremma Toscana wine that stems from vineyards located in the commune of Gavorrano. Offering a perfect expression of the native Vermentino grape variety, the vines rest on marl and limestone soils and enjoy a pleasant sea breeze from the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The vintage

The 2020 vintage was marked by particularly mild weather conditions in spring and early summer. These conditions ensure an optimal ripening of the grapes, which gives rise to a fine wine with an alluring balance and intensity.

Vinification and ageing

Vinification in vats. Aged for 10 months in barrels followed by 2 months in bottles.

The blend

Vermentino (100%).
