Frescobaldi 2015 Remole Toscana
Italian Red
Redcurrant and blackberry meet black pepper and eucalyptus in a deep purple-red profile. The palate is fresh, rounded and persistent, with a clear fruit core. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon form the blend. Maceration lasts ten days, followed by malolactic fermentation; the wine then spends four months in stainless steel and two months in bottle. Alcohol is twelve and a half percent.
Frescobaldi 1996 Rèmole Chianti
Italian Red
Medium-density purple-violet in colour, the wine opens with a sharp acetone-like note that dissipates to reveal a pleasantly full bouquet. The palate shows body and harmony, with round tannins and a long finish. The historic villa near Sieci, east of Florence, gives the wine its name. The property is linked to seven centuries of Frescobaldi family history.

Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrique, and maturation lasts eighteen months in French oak. Blackberry, violet and fresh porcini appear with round, velvety tannins, full body and a long finish. The vineyard covers twelve hectares, and its principal planting dates to the mid-seventies.
