Notes | |||
"Deep ruby red color. Le Sughere di Frassinello bursts from the glass with an exciting melange of sweet red cherries, herbs, licorice and tobacco. It shows lovely mid-palate depth in a medium-bodied, sleek style supported by firm yet well-integrated tannins." —winemaker Blend: 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Blackberries and deep blackcurrants, under a surface layer of mild spice. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, fruit and spice-coated tannins and a long finish. A little chewy now. Needs a couple of years to soften. Drink in 2022." —James Suckling "The 2018 Le Sughere di Frassinello is laced with crushed flowers, mint, spice and red berry fruit. Aromatic and light on its feet, the Sughere is quite pretty in 2018. I would give it a year or so in bottle to soften, as the finish is a bit tight today." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
