Produced by the renowned Frescobaldi family, Tenuta Ammiraglia focuses on crafting modern wines that reflect the Mediterranean climate and the unique terroir of the Tuscan coast. The Terre More 2022 is a blend of international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah, showcasing the bold fruit flavours and elegant structure that Maremma wines are known for.

The 2022 vintage offers a fresh, approachable wine with depth, complexity, and smooth tannins, making it perfect for early drinking while still capable of further development. The influence of the sea breezes helps maintain the balance between ripeness and freshness.

Appearance: Deep ruby red with violet reflections, showing vibrancy and concentration.

Aroma: The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, complemented by notes of black pepper, tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs like rosemary. There’s also a subtle hint of vanilla and spice from the oak ageing.

Taste: Medium to full-bodied with soft, velvety tannins. The palate reveals flavours of ripe blackberries, red currants, and dark cherries, balanced by savoury notes of black pepper, leather, and a touch of dried herbs. The oak influence adds complexity with hints of vanilla and chocolate, while the wine’s lively acidity keeps the fruit fresh and vibrant.

Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle earthy undertone. The wine’s balance of acidity and tannins ensures a refined and polished finish.

Food Pairing: This red blend pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, especially beef or lamb. The wine’s bold fruit and smooth tannins complement dishes like grilled steak or lamb chops seasoned with rosemary. It also works well with hearty pasta dishes such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù or a rich lasagna, where the wine’s acidity and fruit character enhance the savoury depth of the dish. For a cheese pairing, aged Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano-Reggiano would complement the wine’s complexity and richness.
