The wine

Morellino di Scansano: The Elegance of Cantina Leonardo Da Vinci

I invite you today to a discovery that will transport you to the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. Imagine a wine that captures the soul of this land, a Morellino di Scansano that tells a story of sun and passion. It's a gem I unearthed, a wine that will speak to you of authentic Tuscany, the one I love so much.

The Warm Terroir of Scansano

This Morellino di Scansano DOCG comes from the Montiano vineyards, within the Morellino di Scansano appellation area, in the province of Grosseto. Cantina Leonardo Da Vinci, with its expertise, grows Sangiovese there, the king grape variety of Tuscany. The grapes, harvested at perfect maturity, are vinified with maceration on the skins for about ten days, promoting intense extraction of anthocyanins for a deep color and rich aromas.

In your glass, you will discover an intense purplish-red color, which already promises a beautiful experience. On the nose, this wine will offer you a powerful aromatic bouquet, dominated by notes of red fruits and floral touches, enhanced by a hint of spices that awakens curiosity. On the palate, it reveals itself as enveloping, with well-present tannins that are surprisingly soft and low in astringency. It is a fresh and pleasant wine, endowed with a harmonious and fine structure, which stands out for its easy drinkability.

Gourmet Pairings and Special Moments

This Morellino di Scansano is an ideal companion for your meals. I particularly recommend it with grilled or roasted red meats, where its freshness and soft tannins will balance the flavors. It will also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, thus extending the pleasure of tasting. It is the perfect wine for a dinner among friends, a moment of sharing where conviviality reigns, or simply to accompany a peaceful evening, reminding you of the sweet Tuscan nights.

⚠️ Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health — consume in moderation. Sale prohibited to minors.

This Morellino comes from the Montiano vineyards, and its maceration of about ten days on the skins gives it its deep color. If you fear overly harsh tannins, these are described as well present but soft: that's the detail to keep in mind.
