96 Vinous
The 2017 Baffonero is a wild, beautiful wine. Deep, dark and exquisitely layered, with striking inner perfume, the 2017 has been nothing short of fabulous in several recent tastings. It balances power, silkiness and depth with tons of stylishness. Succulent black cherry, mocha, spice, new leather and licorice build over time. The 2017 is easily the best Baffonero yet.

This is an ambitious and aspirational Merlot from the Tuscan Coast. The 2017 Maremma Toscana Baffonero does a good job of hiding the heat and drought of the vintage, and I can't imagine that achieving these balanced results was remotely easy. The early-ripening Merlot grape tends to show heavy and jammy results in 2017, but this wine escapes relatively unscathed. Dark fruit and black cherry cede to flashy notes of baking spice, cigar box and campfire ash. The finish is polished and the tannins are elegant.“

„Violets, rich black cherries and a melange of fresh herbs. Full-bodied with lots of crushed black fruit and fine, silky tannins that carry light licorice and polished vanilla aromas into a long finish. Classy and young. A little linear now, but delicious. This needs a year or two to settle and expand in every direction. 100% Merlot. Delicious wine. Best in 2022.“

The new oak flavors of resin and smoke, along with dusty tannins, exert themselves in this red, whose black cherry and plum fruit is buried for now. This turns chunky and lightly astringent on the finish, with fine length and a spicy aftertaste. Merlot. Best from 2021 through 2032.“

Rocca di Frassinello
Le projet vitivinicole Rocca di Frassinello constitue le premier et, unique à ce jour, joint-venture entre des producteurs italien et français. Ses maîtres d’œuvre, la maison typique du Chianti Castellare di Castellina et la grande vedette du monde du vin, les Domaines Barons de Rothschild du célèbre château bordelais Lafite-Rothschild, ont fait émerger ce domaine de la Maremme il y a quelques années seulement. Les premiers millésimes issus de cette propriété de 500 hectares, dont 80 ha de vignes, n’ont été mis sur le marché, en effet, qu’au début des années 2000. Rocca di Frassinello réunit les compétences viticoles particulièrement étoffées des deux domaines : d’un côté, l’utilisation du cépage typique de la Toscane, sangioveto, chez Castellare di Castellina ; de l’autre, l’expérience des Domaines Barons de Rothschild avec les cépages français incontournables que sont le cabernet-sauvignon, le cabernet franc, le merlot et la syrah. Il en résulte, plusieurs vins de haute volée. Rivalisant avec ce qui se fait de mieux en Italie comme en France, le haut de gamme, Rocca di Frassinello, est même devenu l’un des principaux concurrents du célébrissime Masseto italien. Implanté sur la commune de Gavorrano, dans la Maremme, le domaine est une véritable icône, reflet parfait des talents italiens et français.
