Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you to a gem of Tuscan Maremma, a wine that captures the very essence of its land. This Morellino di Scansano 2022 from Fattoria dei Barbi is an invitation to discovery, an authentic expression that will surprise you with its frankness and liveliness.
We are here in the heart of Maremma, in the Scansano region, a terroir where Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany, takes on a particular dimension. Fattoria dei Barbi, a historic and renowned estate, works there with passion to reveal the typicity of this DOCG appellation. Their fruit-respectful approach translates into fermentation in steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins that allows color and aromas to be extracted without excess. The wine is then aged between six and twelve months, a period just long enough to refine its contours without masking its youth.
From the moment you pour it, this Morellino di Scansano 2022 displays a pale ruby robe with purple highlights, a color that announces its freshness. On the nose, you will be immediately seduced by its aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and strawberry, interlaced with Mediterranean notes of aromatic herbs and a subtle spicy touch. It is a direct, precise bouquet that irresistibly invites tasting. On the palate, it offers a medium body, balanced by beautiful acidity and soft yet well-present tannins. The tasting is juicy and fluid, supported by a sapidity that gives it a pleasant tension. You will find the fruity flavors perceived on the nose, complemented by a light earthy undertone that extends its persistence. It is a wine that is both immediate and unpretentious, with a cleanliness and freshness that make you want to come back to it.
This Morellino di Scansano is an ideal companion for many moments. I particularly recommend it with grilled red meats, a good pasta dish with ragù, or even roasted poultry. It will also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses. Serve it between 16 and 18 °C; a brief decanting can even help it open up further and reveal all its complexity. It is a wine that celebrates conviviality, perfect for a meal with friends or to accompany an authentic Tuscan evening. Let yourself be tempted by this vibrant expression of Maremma, you will not regret it.
