About

Ratings:

92

The 2018 Le Sughere di Frassinello is laced with crushed flowers, mint, spice and red berry fruit. Aromatic and light on its feet, the Sughere is quite pretty in 2018. I would give it a year or so in bottle to soften, as the finish is a bit tight today.

89 Wine Spectator

There's plenty of Sangiovese character in this red, by way of cherry, strawberry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors. This is supple and firmly structured, with a dusting of tannins on the bright finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2024. 15,000 cases made, 7,000 cases imported.
