Description
Baffonero 2019 DOC Maremma Toscana Rocca di Frassinello
Baffonero 2019 is the Grand Cru in purity of Rocca di Frassinello, a Merlot of great personality that elegantly and deeply interprets the character of Maremma Toscana. The single wooden box further enhances a wine designed for those seeking an important label, for collection or as a prestigious gift, capable of uniting aromatic richness, structure, and finesse.
Territory and wine style
This DOC Maremma Toscana is born in the municipality of Gavorrano, from a vineyard of 3.5 hectares located about 90 meters above sea level. The clayey soil rich in skeleton and the perfect exposure contribute to defining a mature, deep, and balanced style. The name recalls a Maremma story linked to local tradition, while the wine's profile expresses all the strength of a vocated territory and the identity of an Italian wine with an international breath. The result is a Merlot of great balance, supported by substance, precision, and freshness.
Tasting notes
In the glass, Baffonero 2019 presents itself with an intense and enveloping profile, dominated by black fruits such as blackberry and blueberry. The bouquet is enriched with nuances of vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, and slight hints of coffee, which accompany a wide and refined olfactory texture. On the palate, it is full and robust, with an important yet harmonious structure, made more vibrant by a marked freshness. The final sensation is long, complex, and persistent, with a velvety sip rich in extract.
Recommended pairings
The richness of Baffonero 2019 makes it ideal with flavorful and structured preparations. It pairs well with grilled red meats, braised dishes, important fillets, game, and roasts with rich sauces. Excellent also with pappardelle with wild boar ragù, porcini mushrooms, aged cheeses, and dishes from Tuscan cuisine with a strong taste. Thanks to its softness and final freshness, it also pairs well with refined menus for special occasions.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate Baffonero 2019, the ideal serving temperature is between 16 and 18°C. If the bottle has been stored for a long time or is opened at a very young stage of its evolution, a brief oxygenation in a decanter may be useful to enhance the aromatic expression and complexity of the sip.
Why buy it
Baffonero 2019 DOC Maremma Toscana Rocca di Frassinello is a choice of great charm for those who desire an important, territorial Merlot, carefully crafted in every detail. The quality of the vineyard, the personality of the project, and the aging in new French oak barriques contribute to a rich and convincing profile. It is a wine that combines elegance and power, perfect for gifting, for opening at a special dinner, or for including in a cellar that seeks reference labels from Maremma.
