What kind of wine is Maremma Toscana Bianco Doc 2021 - Rocca di Frassinello?

The Maremma Toscana Bianco Doc 2021 - Rocca di Frassinello is an elegant and contemporary white wine, reflecting the sunny and maritime character of Maremma. It is made from 100% Vermentino grapes, a symbolic grape variety of the Tuscan coast, which grows on clay and stony soils exposed to the breeze of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The result is a wine with a fresh, aromatic, and mineral personality, perfectly balanced between liveliness and structure.

Vintage details

The 2021 vintage in Maremma was characterized by a balanced climate: mild winters, a dry spring, and a warm but breezy summer allowed for uniform grape ripening. The temperature fluctuations between day and night favored the development of primary aromas and good natural acidity, making the wine particularly harmonious and vibrant.

Winemaking and aging

After manual selection of the best bunches, the grapes are gently pressed to preserve freshness and aromas. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, at controlled temperatures, to maintain the fruity and floral notes of Vermentino. Subsequently, the wine rests for about 10 months on its lees (a process called "sur lies aging," which enriches its body and complexity) before bottling.
