We're sorry for any inconvenience and will do what we can to fill your order!

91 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com	"A wine with attractive berry, black olive and hints of wood. Medium-to-full body, with firm tannins and a chewy finish. Wood, tannins should melt into the wine with bottle age. A blend of 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Sangioveto. Better in 2014." (07/13)

90 Pts Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	"The 2011 Le Sughere di Frassinello is immediately more balanced. Thereâs beauty here with full density and thick texture. A rich wall of blackberry and spice is backed by bitter chocolate and tobacco. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2019. -ML" (08/13)

90 Pts Wine Spectator	"Elegant and subtle, featuring black cherry, raspberry and spice flavors. The tannins sneak in, leaving a tactile sensation on the long finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2016 through 2030. 13,300 cases made. -BS" (10/13)
90 Pts Antonio Galloni - Vinous	"The estate's 2011 Le Sughere di Frassinello shows lovely finesse and harmony. Plum and dark cherry notes meld into tobacco, incense and spices. A hint of orange peel adds exotic, floral overtones that are intriguing, while the finish is nicely focused and impeccable. Le Sughere is Sangioveto, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon." (08/13)

Description:

WINE:
"This wine takes its name from the cork trees ("sughero" in Italian) that surround the vineyard. A wine of great character, the native Sangioveto and the international varietals Cabernet and Merlot are blended together to realize an ideal Italian-French wine." -Importer

TASTING NOTES:
"Color: Deep ruby red
Bouquet: Nose of red fruit with subtle hints of sweet vanilla
Flavor: Big structure, but very elegant with velvet tannins
Pairings: Ideal with roasted red meats and aged cheeses" - Importer

WINERY:
"Looking to expand beyond the heavily saturated Chianti Classico area, Castellare turned to the natural outlet of Maremma. What started as a small expansion plan took on a new dimension, as a unique joint venture between Castellare and Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite, the first partnership of its kind.The project couples Castellareâs experience in the growing and vinification of Sangioveto with Lafiteâs experience in classic French varietals. Extensive research led to a site selection in the hills formed by the two sides of the old Aurelia in Monteregio di Massa Marittima. The first vineyards were planted on 17 acres in 2000; however, today, this successful project oversees almost 200 acres of vineyards in an unrivalled microclimate for native varietals." -Importer
