ROCCA DI FRASSINELLO

A revolutionary winery designed for the first time by the architect Renzo Piano. A remarkable international project, the first joint venture between an Italian and French producer, a partnership between Castellare di Castellina and Les Domaines Baron de Rothchild-Lafite. Located in Maremma, on the south coast of Tuscany, 15 km north of Grosseto and 40 km south of Bolgheri. The estate comprises 500 ha of which 90 ha of vineyards planted in 2000-2001, located in a magnificent amphitheatre, close to the coast, with its typical Mediterranean wild nature. Half cultivated with Sangioveto and the rest with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Vermentino to produce six labels bringing together the best of Italy and France.



The story of Baffonero starts with an ambitious challenge launched to Masseto, the King of Italian Merlot produced in nearby Bolgheri. A friendly, unofficial challenge, born in the spirit of the America's Cup, where the challenger Baffonero tries to contend the primacy to the defender Masseto. The average of the scores attributed by Wine Spectator to the first seven vintages of both wines shows that the challenge is today more fierce than ever. In 2015, Baffonero was the star of the first global digital vertical tasting ever held in contemporary in 4 continents and 9 cities. At the end of the tasting, which gathered around a virtual table the top wine experts, from Shanghai to New York, from Johannesburg to New Delhi passing through Europe, Baffonero has aroused enthusiastic comments. To summarize the participants' acclaim, the words of Bruce Sanderson - Senior Editor for Wine Spectator, the international wine bible - who defined it "...a fantastic wine!”
