Le Fattorie Tenuta di Frassineto 2021

Redolent of ripe small red-berry fruit such as blackberries, amarena and morello cherries verging towards jam before opening into sweet and very intense spiciness. Warm and caressing to the palate, a succession of soft sensations linked to an elegant and velvety tannin sustained by a note of fresh acidity. Color, complexity and persistence immediately predict that this wine is destined to a long and fascinating evolution. Contains sulphites. Produced by Cantina Tenuta di Frassineto - Strada Vicinale del Duca, 14 - 52100, Località Frassineto - Arezzo - Italy.

THE REVIEW OF CABERNET FRANC LE FATTORIE BY LUCA STROPPA

The producer

The Tenuta di Frassineto is in the middle of the Val di Chiana. The company philosophy is geared exclusively towards quality, adjusting from year to year, the grape production per plant through thinning of the shoots during the spring and grapes close to the harvest. The winery Tenuta di Frassineto is equipped with the latest equipment to enhance the varietal aromatic potential that these grapes have. The complex for its architectural features, its history and its geographical position, is a particularly important example from the point of view of agriculture, historical and artistic. Of the total 500 hectares, the company has identified 30 to plant their vineyards. The choice of variety to be plant has emerged after years of careful study of the climatic characteristics of the territory.
