La forteresse de Frassinello

Rocca di Frassinello is a prestigious winery located in the Maremma region of Tuscany, Italy. Established as a collaboration between Italy's Castellare di Castellina and France's Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Château Lafite, the winery merges the finest traditions of Italian and French winemaking.

The estate spans approximately 500 hectares, with 83 hectares dedicated to vineyards. These vineyards cultivate a mix of Italian and French grape varieties, including Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Vermentino, producing wines that reflect the harmony of both regions.

The winery itself, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, is celebrated for its modern design and functionality. A highlight is its subterranean barrel room, a striking amphitheatre-like space that naturally maintains perfect conditions for aging wine.

Rocca di Frassinello also celebrates history, housing an Etruscan museum with archaeological artifacts discovered on the estate, demonstrating a deep connection between the land and its heritage.

Known for wines of exceptional quality, such as the flagship "Rocca di Frassinello" blend and the iconic "Baffonero" Merlot, this winery stands as a symbol of innovation and tradition in Tuscany’s winemaking landscape.
