Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, under a generous sun. It is there, in this vibrant landscape, that this Morellino di Scansano DOCG is born, a wine that tells you the story of a land and a craft.
This Morellino di Scansano DOCG comes from the sunny hills of Scansano, in the province of Grosseto. The Maremma, this coastal region of Tuscany, is a haven for viticulture, with its ideal Mediterranean climate. The Antonio Camillo estate passionately cultivates Sangiovese there, the king grape variety of this appellation, which finds a unique expression here, shaped by the elements.
Sangiovese is the heart of this wine. It is vinified with care, fermentation taking place in steel tanks with maceration on the skins, a method that best extracts the aromas and color. Then, this wine is aged for 6 to 12 months, a period that refines its structure without masking its fruity character. In 2023, this vintage already promises beautiful complexity, faithful to the spirit of the estate.
On tasting, this Morellino di Scansano reveals itself in an intense robe. On the nose, I perceive aromas of ripe red fruits, notably cherry and blackcurrant, interlaced with spicy notes and sometimes light balsamic touches. On the palate, it offers a supple tannic structure and a fresh balance, with a pleasant acidity that underscores its liveliness and promises good aging potential. It is a harmonious wine, which elegantly expresses the authenticity of its terroir.
This Morellino di Scansano is a true chameleon at the table. I particularly recommend it with characterful dishes: red meats, whether grilled or in sauce, fragrant roasts, and aged cheeses. It will enhance these dishes thanks to its balanced structure and its fruity and spicy aromas. It is a wine to share during a convivial meal, an invitation to the Tuscan dolce vita, a moment of simple and authentic pleasure.
