Comment on noteThe wine
Today I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of the Maremma, that wild and authentic Tuscany. Imagine a wine that captures the very essence of its landscapes, where the sun caresses the vines and the sea breeze brings its whispers. This is exactly what you will find in this Morellino di Scansano from the Cecchi Luigi & Figli estate.
The Maremma, and more precisely the Scansano region in Grosseto, is a land of character. It is here that the Sangiovese grape, the undisputed king of Tuscany, takes on a particular expression, fruitier and more approachable under the name of Morellino. The Cecchi Luigi & Figli estate, with its Val delle Rose property, perpetuates a winemaking tradition in which the authenticity of the terroir is highlighted. This 2021 vintage, resulting from fermentation in steel tanks and maceration on the skins, is a fine example of this philosophy.
This Morellino di Scansano reveals itself in an intense ruby red robe, tending toward garnet with time, promising a beautiful evolution. On the nose, I perceive rich and persistent aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, interwoven with spicy notes and a subtle vanilla touch, a legacy of its six months of aging in steel or wood. On the palate, it proves robust yet elegant, with well-balanced tannins and lively acidity that supports the fruit. The finish is persistent, with that slight bitterness so characteristic and appreciated of the appellation.
This Morellino is a wine that knows how to be enjoyed young, but I recommend not hesitating to let it age for a few years to discover new facets. For food and wine pairing, it will be a partner of choice for your meals. Imagine it with roasted red meats, a good game dish, or aged cheeses. It will enhance these flavors with its structure and fruitiness. Serve it between 16 and 18°C so that it fully expresses all its qualities. Each glass will tell you the story of a passionate family and a generous Tuscan terroir.
