The 2012 Maremma Toscana Le Sughere di Frassinello is the latest edition of a wine that has shown a clear and steady evolution over the years. This vintage is one of the best I've tasted. There is an evident dose of ripe fruit and thick extraction that constitutes its signature style. Planted relatively recently, the vines are reaching their best production years. This is a bold and opulent red with dark fruit, tangy oak spice, chocolate and baking flavors. Give it a few more years to unwind.

This rich red is bursting with cherry, raspberry and spice flavors, matched to a bright structure. The tannins are refined and well-integrated, with moderate grip on the finish. Drink now through 2020. 6,500 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Maremma Toscana Select to Add
