Morellino di Scansano DOCG - Vigne a Porrona - Folonari

Morellino di Scansano Folonari: the red soul of the Maremma

I invite you to discover a gem of the Maremma, a wine that captures the essence of this still-wild Tuscan land. The Morellino di Scansano from Folonari is an encounter with authenticity, a vibrant red that whispers stories of sun and terroir.

Vigna a Porrona: the heart of the Maremma

This wine comes from the Porrona vineyards, nestled in the province of Grosseto, in the heart of the Maremma. This region, less well known than Chianti, offers ideal conditions for Sangiovese, the predominant grape variety in this Morellino. Folonari, a historic estate, cultivates these vines with passion, giving birth to a wine of great straightforwardness. The 2022 vintage, aged in stainless steel tanks, highlights the purity of the fruit.

From the very first glance, its bright, clear ruby color seduces you. On the nose, it is an explosion of ripe red fruits, notably cherry, interwoven with notes of wild berries. I also detect subtler nuances of wax and incense, which bring an intriguing complexity without ever weighing down the bouquet. On the palate, you will discover a balanced structure. The tannins, present, are remarkably smooth, and a fine acidity supports the whole, making the tasting fluid and pleasant. The finish is balanced, with a medium persistence that leaves you with a pleasant sensation.

At the table with the Morellino

This Morellino di Scansano is an ideal companion for your meals. It pairs wonderfully with meat primi and secondi, whether a slow-cooked dish or a summer grill. Salumi and aged cheeses will also find in it a partner of choice. I recommend it for those informal moments of conviviality, where simplicity and sharing reign supreme. Serve it at a temperature of 16 to 18 °C to appreciate all its nuances.
