Rocca di Frassanello

The Rocca di Frassanello project was born from an idea, indeed a need: that of replicating the model of excellence of Castellare di Castellina in a new territory. In the middle of the Maremma, between Bolgheri and Scansano, where a kind of geological foot arrives that has the same characteristics of Chianti and Montalcino, of which it is in fact a sort of extension towards the sea. This area, so incredibly popular for the cultivation of the vine, is included in the municipalities of Gavorrano and Roccastrada. It is precisely there that the first, and today unique, Italian-French joint venture project for wine production took shape. It took two years to combine the five farms that make up the 500 hectares of Rocca di Frassinello, the hectares of vineyards planted are now about 90. The project, already extremely ambitious, was further enhanced by a choice made to crown the birth of the winery of Rocca di Frassinello with the most prestigious possible signature: that of Renzo Piano. Name and address of producer/distributor: Azienda vinicola Rocca di Frassanello - Località Poggio la Guardia, 58023 Giuncarico (GR). The products of this cellar should be stored in a cool and dry place away from heat sources.
