Rocca di Frassinello | Tuscany
Rocca di Frassinello is located in the heart of the Maremma, a unique landscape between Bolgheri and Scansano that is characterized by its exceptional suitability for viticulture. Here, soils with the characteristics of Chianti and Montalcino meet a warmer climate, which gives the grapes earlier ripeness and intense expressiveness. This environment gave rise to the first and, to date, only Italian-French joint venture in viticulture: a partnership between Castellare di Castellina and Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite, combining Tuscan tradition and French savoir-faire in a unique alliance. The result is a project that, from the outset, aimed to produce world-class wines.
But Rocca di Frassinello is much more than a winery—it is a place where culture, history, and architecture merge. Renzo Piano's futuristic winery, the Gli Etruschi e il Vino exhibition, and David LaChapelle's artwork Rapture of the Grape make a visit a journey through time and the senses. Those who wish to stay longer can spend the night in the Foresteria on the estate, enjoy the nature of the Maremma, and experience the creation of the wines from the vine to the bottle up close. - Gerardo [TS09/25]
