The Lamaione di Frescobaldi was obtained from 100% Merlot grapes grown on the CastelGiocondo estate in Montalcino (SI). The reference vineyards, facing Southwest, lie on naturally clay-rich soils rich in limestone and mineral substances, at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level. The winemaking process included a long 4-week maceration of the must on the skins. The aging was for 24 months in new French oak barrels, 90% of which were new and the remaining 10% were first pass.

LAMAIONE MERLOT TOSCANA FRESCOBALDI: TASTING

The extrapolated Lamaione di Frescobaldi Merlot Toscana from Frescobaldi presents itself to the eye with a ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose, it releases scents of ripe berries that combine with balsamic hints of thyme and eucalyptus and warm notes of chocolate, cloves, and dark spices. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping, complemented by a dense and soft tannic texture and a long fruity and spicy finish. At the table, it pairs well with medium-aged cheeses and important meat-based main courses of red meats.
