A collaboration between the people behind iconic Tuscan winery Castellare di Castellina and leading French wine brand Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite. Rocca di Frassinello was born out of a desire to bring together Castellare’s experience in cultivating Sangiovese, with Lafite’s long standing knowledge of classical French varieties like Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah. Situated between Gavorrano and Ribolla in the Grosseto province in Maremma, the soils have similar characteristics to those of Chianti and Montalcino, but with slightly higher temperatures, so the late -ripening grapes are able to reach maturation earlier here compared to those vineyards further north. Moderating sea breezes pass through the area to keep the climate perfectly balanced for the grapes. A marriage of Italian mastery and classic French grapes
