Product Notes

Frescobaldi Tenuta Castelgiocondo Lamaione Toscana IGT wine is a distinct and elegant Tuscan Merlot from the storied vineyards of the Maremma region. This opulent wine emanates a rich purple hue, and seduces the senses with aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and subtle hints of tobacco and coffee. On the palate, it imparts an exquisitely full-bodied taste with velvety soft tannins, delivering a complex fusion of dark fruits, spices, and nuanced oak. The finish, long and expressive, leaves a delightful, lingering warmth. This splendid wine promises an invigorating voyage for the discerning oenophile's palate.

Tasting Notes

An impressive bouquet of great aromatic richness and a complexity, Lamaione 2014 expresses blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry and delicate notes of vanilla and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is enveloping with velvety tannins and is rich in black berried fruit flavours that fill the palate with lingering persistence.
