The wine

Morellino di Scansano Barbi: the wild soul of the Maremma

Let me guide you to a red gem, a wine that captures the very essence of the Tuscan Maremma. This Morellino di Scansano from Fattoria dei Barbi is an invitation to a sensory journey, an encounter with an authentic terroir and a king of grape varieties.

Scansano, land of Sangiovese and history

We are here in the heart of the Maremma, a picturesque region of Tuscany, where nature still reigns supreme. Morellino di Scansano DOCG takes its name from Sangiovese, locally called "Morellino", and it is this unique grape variety that gives this wine its robustness and character. Fattoria dei Barbi, with its long history and dedication to quality, is an emblematic estate of this appellation. It is a wine that, from the very first glance, speaks to you of its origin, of this sun-drenched land and of the commitment of those who craft it.

As soon as you pour it, you are struck by its intense ruby red color, often adorned with purplish reflections, signs of its youth and liveliness. On the nose, this Morellino from Fattoria dei Barbi offers you a complex bouquet: red fruits dominate, with notes of ripe cherry and plum, interlaced with accents of aromatic herbs and a light touch of vanilla, inherited from its aging in wood. On the palate, it reveals itself structured and balanced. You will appreciate its pleasant tannic texture which marries wonderfully with the typical acidic freshness of Sangiovese. The fruit flavors are confirmed, enriched with delicate nuances of spices and a subtle aftertaste of tobacco, the fruit of its barrel maturation. It is a wine with body, but which retains a certain elegance.

An ideal companion for your Tuscan meals

This Morellino di Scansano is a true gastronomic chameleon. I highly recommend it to accompany typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Imagine it alongside a fine grilled red meat, a flavorful roast or even game. Its tannins and freshness will balance the richness of these dishes. It is also an excellent partner for aged cheeses, where its fruity and spicy notes will enhance the flavors. Serve it between 16 and 18°C so that it can express all its nuances. It is the perfect wine for those evenings when you feel like traveling to Tuscany without leaving your table, an invitation to conviviality and sharing.
