We track 5 UK retailers across all vintages and formats, including out-of-stock offers. Prices read several times a week. We earn a commission on some links; it never changes the order.
Stock is shown where the retailer publishes it, offers are sorted by price, and unavailable offers can’t be clicked.
No current retailer offer matches that combination.
Stock status is read from each retailer’s page several times a week and may lag. Case and magnum listings show a per-bottle or per-litre equivalent and sit outside the best-price figure.
The vines grow at 90 metres in two vineyards at Gavorrano, Vecchia and Eucalipti. Merlot is picked in late August, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon in mid-September, and the wine is fermented in steel tanks.
Intense ruby red with hints of garnet in the glass. The nose is fruity, with a pleasant spiciness. Sangiovese makes up 60% of the blend, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot at 20% each.

CocoaStrength, intensity and elegance sit together here. Soft tannins make it round in the mouth. The taste is deep but lively, with good balance, after a spell in small oak barrels.
On the 2020, Falstaff found hearty tannins on the finish and a medium finish. The wine has already rested 11 months in bottle before it leaves the estate.
This is the estate's first label, its top wine, which it calls a red of great structure and longevity. Open it with red meat, roasts or game, or keep it. The 2015 is still on sale here if you want an older bottle.
The 2018 is the cheapest bottle here at £35. The 2021 costs £40 to £43.20 depending on the shop, the 2020 is £45.90 and the 2015 is £75.

Food, cellar and occasion are its strongest cards: a Maremma Toscana blend for red meat and game, made to keep, from an Italian-French project.
Soft tannins and a deep, lively taste make this Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend easy to match. Red meat, roasts, game and mature cheese are the foods the producer names.
The producer calls it a red of great structure and longevity. It spends time in small oak barrels and 11 months in bottle before release, and the 2015 is still on sale here.
Christian Le Sommer of Les Domaines Baron de Rothschild-Lafite created it with Alessandro Cellai, at an estate whose winery Renzo Piano designed. It is a bottle with a story for a celebration.
Soft tannins and a fruity, spicy nose make it easy to enjoy. The price and the structure of the wine suit someone who already likes bold Tuscan reds more than a first-time buyer.
The 2018 costs £35 here, the 2021 £40 to £43.20 and the 2020 £45.90. That buys the estate's first label, but it is a lot to spend on a bottle for an ordinary dinner.
This is the estate's grand vin at £35 or more a bottle, made to keep. It is a wine for a special dinner rather than a weeknight glass.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Maremma Toscana denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
The first vintage of Rocca di Frassinello was 2004. The estate bottles it in 75 cl, 1.5 litre and 3 litre sizes, and every bottle on this page is a 75 cl.
The youngest vintage on this page. The shops give its alcohol as 14.5% and 15%, so check the label if it matters to you.
The 2020 has 14.5% alcohol. Falstaff scored this wine's 2020 at 92 points in a 2024 tasting.
Eight years on from its harvest, the 2018 has 14.5% alcohol.
The oldest vintage on this page, eleven years on from its harvest. It has 14.5% alcohol.
The 2020 has 14.5% alcohol. Falstaff scored this wine's 2020 at 92 points in a 2024 tasting.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Christian Le Sommer, winemaker at Les Domaines Baron de Rothschild-Lafite, created this wine together with Alessandro Cellai. The estate calls it its first label, its grand vin in the Bordeaux sense, and its winery was designed by Renzo Piano.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Maremma Toscana is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Maremma Toscana falls within Tuscany.

Gavorrano
Producer: Rocca di Frassinello, Gavorrano. Directions
Christian Le Sommer, winemaker at Les Domaines Baron de Rothschild-Lafite, created it with Alessandro Cellai. The estate calls it its first label and its grand vin.
Barrel time and then 11 months in bottle add up to more than two years before the wine is sold, and both the barrels and the waiting cost money.
The wine comes from the Vecchia and Eucalipti vineyards, planted at 5,900 vines a hectare and cropped at 55 quintals, or 5.5 tonnes, a hectare.
Of the £45.90 asked for the 2020, about £10.98 is tax: £3.33 duty on a 75 cl bottle at 14.5% alcohol and £7.65 VAT.
The 2018 sells here at £35, less than the younger 2020 and 2021, so the older bottle is also the cheapest way in.
The producer pairs this wine with red meats, roasts, game and mature cheeses. Its soft tannins and deep but lively taste suit food with real weight.
The protein and fat in a charred steak soften the tannin of this Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend, so the wine feels rounder. Its deep but lively taste refreshes the mouth after each bite of fatty meat.
Try with: Ribeye steak · Sirloin steak · Fillet steak · Fiorentina steak · More pairings →
A rich game dish needs a red with real structure, and this Maremma Toscana blend has the structure and intensity to match. Its fruit and spice hold up against dark, gamey flavours instead of fading.
Try with: Venison Stew · Roast Pheasant · Roast Duck · More pairings →
The fruity, spicy nose of this Sangiovese-led Maremma red meets the browned, savoury edges of roast lamb. The soft tannin suits the sweet fat of the meat without drying the mouth.
Try with: Rack of lamb · Leg of lamb · Lamb chops · More pairings →
Sangiovese makes up 60% of this blend, and its lively taste cuts through a rich meat sauce. The wine's structure matches the weight of the ragù, so neither one drowns the other.
Try with: Ragu alla bolognese · Lasagna · Agnello Ragu Lucano · More pairings →
Salt in a mature cheese softens the tannin of this Sangiovese blend and brings its fruit forward. The producer names mature cheeses among its own matches for the wine.
Try with: Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · Strong cheddar cheese · Cheese board
Chilli heat makes the alcohol and oak of a strong red like this Maremma Toscana blend taste hot and bitter. Keep Rocca di Frassinello for savoury food without the burn.
Skip with: Jungle Curry · Szechuan beef · Crispy chilli beef · Pizza Diavola · Pairing guide →
After its time in small oak barrels, the wine rests 11 months in bottle before release. The 2015, eleven years on from its harvest, is still on sale here.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
The producer calls it a red of great structure and longevity. It spends time in small oak barrels and 11 months in bottle before release, and the 2015 is still on sale here.
£35.00 for a 75cl bottle of the 2018, at Hedonism Wines, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.
