High above the Sieve river valley, the Frascole estate occupies the ruins of an ancient Roman settlement. The estate remains fiercely traditional. The Rufina subzone produces some of the most age-worthy, structured Sangiovese in Tuscany, defying the broader region's reputation for immediate, simple fruit. Frascole farms their high-altitude vineyards entirely organically, forcing vines to dig deep into the rocky galestro soils.
Fermentation occurs in concrete vats. This strict method preserves the rugged authenticity of the terroir rather than masking the nuanced flavor profile with invasive, new oak barrels. It yields an austere, classical wine that commands serious attention.
- Elevation ensures a cool-climate expression
- Native yeast fermentation in concrete
- Certified organic viticulture
