Comment on noteThe wine
Let me guide you to a hidden treasure of the Maremma, a wine that whispers the history and passion of its land. This Morellino di Scansano DOCG from Le Pupille is an invitation to discover the rustic elegance of Tuscany, a promise of authentic flavors and shared moments.
We are here in the heart of the Maremma, in the Scansano region, a blessed terroir where Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany, takes the local name of Morellino. The Le Pupille estate, a true emblem of this appellation, brilliantly perpetuates a winemaking tradition rooted in respect for nature. It is from these generous soils and this unique climate that this wine is born, the fruit of expertise passed down and perfected.
The 2022 vintage of this Morellino di Scansano DOCG reveals itself in an intense red color, a promise of beautiful concentration. On the nose, I immediately perceive bursting aromas of ripe red fruits, such as juicy cherry and luscious raspberry. These fruity notes are delicately interwoven with subtle nuances of sweet spices and a hint of aromatic herbs, offering a most seductive olfactory complexity. On the palate, this wine presents a medium body, balanced by perfectly integrated tannins that give it a silky texture. A pleasant acidity refreshes the palate and prolongs the tasting, leaving a persistent and harmonious imprint. Fermentation in steel tanks and careful maceration on the skins allowed the extraction of all the aromatic richness of this Sangiovese, while ageing of at least one year refined its structure.
This Morellino di Scansano is an ideal companion for your meals. It will pair wonderfully with red meat dishes, flavorful roasts or even aged cheeses, whose aromas it will know how to enhance. But its versatility does not stop there: you could also serve it as an aperitif, accompanied by a selection of Tuscan charcuterie or crispy bruschetta. It is a wine that invites conviviality, perfect for intimate occasions or simply to treat yourself with a quality bottle.
