A project in the heart of Maremma, between Bolgheri and Scansano, that benefits from the oenological experience of both partners. Mr Paolo Panerai, Chairman of Rocca di Frassinello, and Barone Eric de Rothschild, specifically selected the hill in front of the town of Giuncarico, in the Maremma Toscana, as the ideal place to cultivate vineyards. Here a constant breeze is channeled from the sea, wicking moisture and moderating the climate both in winter and summer. It took two years to unite the five plots that make up the estate’s 500 hectares, of which 85 are planted to vine. With conscious attention to environmental sustainability, the attentive project preserved forests inside the property boundaries encouraging biodiversity. In this area the vine historically flourished for about 3 thousand years since the time of the Etruscans. This has been proved by the discovery, within the property, of the Etruscan necropolis of San Germano: eight monumental tombs, recovered and restored by the ownership, that are now part of a QR code guided tour open to the public. Other tombs were discovered during recent excavations which will continue in the coming years.Rocca vineyards of Sangioveto (a specific Sangiovese clone selected at Castellare di Castellina estate), Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Vermentino, together with the skills of the chief winemaker and CEO Alessandro Cellai, give birth to a wide range of wines that combine the best of Italy and France. To further validate the international ambitions of the estate, the Pritzker Prize winner Renzo Piano signed the project of the cellar: an elegant and functional building on the highest hill of the amphitheater of Rocca di Frassinello. From the first vintage of 2004 until today, Rocca di Frassinello has produced 7 wines (5 reds, a white and a rosé) and a grappa, all of which are well appreciated internationally. Among them, deserve a special mention Rocca di Frassinello, the first label, le grand vin according to the Bordeaux classification, but also Le Sughere di Frassinello, the second label, landed amongst the Top 100 of Wine Spectator. Since the 2007 harvest, Rocca di Frassinello has become the protagonist of a new suitor, Baffonero: the 100% Merlot Grand Cru considered today one of the greatest Merlots in the world.“The story of Baffonero has begun with the idea of a challenge, an unofficial challenge, in the spirit of the America's Cup. The first vintage was produced in 2007 and since then it has received increasingly prestigious ratings. Every year the challenge becomes more and more fascinating for the excellent quality of this Grand Cru, 100% Merlot, that embodies the power and seemingly concealed elegance of a unique land such as the Maremma Toscana. There is another fascinating story behind Rapture of the Grape, the limited edition of our first label, Rocca di Frassinello, born to celebrate the estate's first 10 vintages. Created thanks to a collaboration with David LaChapelle, American photographer and artist who was a pupil of Andy Warhol, this limited edition in large formats (from 0,75 L to 12L) combines the strength, intensity and elegance of our grand vin with a special label on which is depicted LaChapelle namesake artwork, inspired to Rocca di Frassinello landscape, today on display in the cellar pavillon. The Rocca Beaubourg Collector’s Edition is our new limited edition unveiled in 2017 to celebrate a double anniversary: 10 years of Rocca di Frassinello cellar and 40 years of Centre Pompidou (Beaubourg), both designed by Renzo Piano. Only 2,000 bottles in large sizes made with the best selections of Rocca di Frassinello wine and embellished with two front labels: one with the first sketch of Renzo Piano’s cellar and one with the Pompidou Center. A double “author dress” for a special edition in the name of a great Italian architect”. Paolo Panerai, Chairman of Rocca di Frassinello
