Comment on noteThe wine
Today I invite you to explore a wine that embodies the generosity and character of Tuscan Maremma. This Morellino di Scansano from Poggio al Lupo is a true gem, a Sangiovese that will speak to you of sunshine and rolling landscapes.
We are here in the gentle hills surrounding Scansano, in the province of Grosseto, a terroir blessed with an ideal climate for the maturation of Sangiovese. The Poggio al Lupo estate carefully cultivates this unique grape variety, which here produces wines of beautiful intensity. The vinification of this 2023 takes place in steel tanks, with maceration on the skins to extract all the aromatic richness of the fruit.
In your glass, you will discover an intense ruby red color, with reflections that, over time, will lean toward garnet. On the nose, a rich and complex bouquet presents itself to you: notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, mingle with spicy and slightly balsamic nuances, typical of this land. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is both agile and structured, offering a beautiful balance between refreshing acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. It plays elegantly between power and finesse, leaving a pleasant aromatic persistence that invites the next sip. This wine is then aged for a minimum of one year.
This Morellino di Scansano is an ideal companion for your meals. I particularly recommend it with grilled red meats, game dishes that will echo its character, or aged cheeses. But you can also savor it on its own, as a meditation wine, for a moment of pure escape. It is an excellent choice if you are looking for a wine that combines tradition and pleasure, perfect both for experienced palates and for those discovering the wines of this beloved appellation.
