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.
The 2018 Le Sughere di Frassinello is laced with crushed flowers, mint, spice and red berry fruit. Aromatic and light on its feet, the Sughhere is quite pretty in 2018. I would give is a year or so in the bottle to soften..."
A blend of Sangioveto (Sangiovese), Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Maremma Toscana Le Sughere di Frassinello is a mid-range Tuscan red that opens to generous fruit and pleasant softness. This vintage shows a touch of ripeness with dried cherry skin and prune, but the results are well-balanced overall, especially if you are looking for a near-term pairing option for pasta or meat on the grill. This wine finishes on an elegant note with some freshness and nicely delineated structure.
