The Rocca di Frassinello estate is located in an area with a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm Mediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, with vineyards situated between ninety and one hundred metres above sea level, which favour optimal ripening of the grapes. The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in rocky fragments and calcareous components, which are essential for defining the savouriness of the sip. The name pays homage to the \u003cstrong\u003eornello\u003c\/strong\u003e, the traditional pointed stick of the local butteri, celebrating the strong territorial identity of the Maremma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with \u003cstrong\u003eselective harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e: the Merlot is picked at the end of August, while Sangiovese, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested in mid-September.

Maturation continues for almost a year in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a crucial phase for rounding out the structure and integrating the aromatic profile. A final and measured \u003cstrong\u003eageing\u003c\/strong\u003e period allows the spicy and fruity character to be perfectly harmonised, defining the overall elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrnello enhances the allure of the \u003cstrong\u003eMaremma Toscana DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e, born from the prestigious collaboration between Castellare di Castellina and Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite.
