Dodici Uve Paradiso di Frassina, Organic wine, blend of 12 varieties based on Sangiovese, very smooth and elegant red with a lovely kiss of oak. This is Giancarlo’s take on Chateauneuf du Pape with precise blending of a number of different varieties to produce a wine of perfect poise and finesse. According to Cignozzi; It is almost impossible to give a virtual definition of the sensorial elements of this wine, owing to the complex variety of its clones. The immediate fruit is of cherry and blackcurrant and cassis with cigar box notes like a claret and a herbaceous note like a Cabernet Franc. It shows continuous changes in taste suggesting scent of fruit, of vegetable, of spices, of tobacco, of minerals. One then finds eucalyptus and a balsamic note on the nose behind lush red fruit and black fruit character. For me this wine is about style and balance and drinkability. The oak is balanced by a medium to full body and the palate evolves in the glass keeping the drinker thinking whilst enjoying the sumptuous character of the wine. It is unique and very fine wine making and perfect with Lamb and herbs.
