Rocca Frassinello, Maremma Toscana, Vermentino

Schöner mediterraner Weißer. Weiße Blüten mit Zitrus in der Nase. Im Mund mineralisch, wieder Zitrusaromen und salzig im Abgang. Feiner, unkritischer Weißwein, zu Burrata mit Tomaten oder Pasta.

Creamy and gently textured, this opens with a soft lactic note that reads almost nutty, layered with white flowers—acacia, chamomile, and a hint of jasmine—giving the aromatics a calm, rounded feel. The palate carries that creamy, faintly nutty character through the mid-palate, supported by fresh acidity that keeps the wine balanced rather than heavy. A light saline note emerges on the finish, reinforcing its coastal identity. Average in quality and value if at $18.

Collaboration between Lafite and someone else famous. Solid, modern, clean Vermentino.
