The 2016 Le Sughere di Frassinello is laced with bright red cherry, plum, white chocolate and floral notes. Medium in body and gracious, Le Sughere is quite pretty in 2016. The new oak needs time to fully assimilate. Otherwise, this is very nicely done. Time in the glass helps the wine come together. Le Sughere is 50% Sangioveto, 25% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, but it is the red-toned fruit of the Sangioveto (Sangiovese) that is particularly expressive today.
