A blend of Sangioveto (Sangiovese), Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Maremma Toscana Le Sughere di Frassinello is a mid-range Tuscan red that opens to generous fruit and pleasant softness. This vintage shows a touch of ripeness with dried cherry skin and prune, but the results are well-balanced overall, especially if you are looking for a near-term pairing option for pasta or meat on the grill. This wine finishes on an elegant note with some freshness and nicely delineated structure.

There's plenty of Sangiovese character in this red, by way of cherry, strawberry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors. This is supple and firmly structured, with a dusting of tannins on the bright finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
