Tosco's word
Le Morellino di Scansano DOCG de Le Pupille, à 12,02 €, l’emporte pour son rapport qualité-prix et sa typicité plus affirmée (8,4 contre 7,6), avec une fiabilité haute qui rassure ; il convient à un budget serré ou une première découverte de la Maremme. Le Montecucco Rosso Riserva de ColleMassari, à 17,54 €, séduit par son élevage d’au moins 24 mois et ses trois bicchieri, mais sa fiabilité moyenne et sa polyvalence moindre le réservent aux amateurs de vins plus structurés, prêts à payer le supplément pour un millésime 2021. Si les deux partagent l’absence de bio et de vendanges manuelles, l’écart de prix et de notes est mince : choisis selon ton envie de simplicité ou de profondeur.
