The heart of Maremma: Terroir and Sangiovese

Morellino di Scansano DOCG is an emblematic appellation of Maremma, this coastal and inland region of Tuscany, where the landscapes unfold between gentle hills and sea breeze. Cantina Terenzi, located in Scansano, in Grosseto, carefully cultivates its vines on a mosaic of soils that gives the wine a distinctive aromatic complexity. It is here that Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany, takes on a particular identity, known locally under the name of Morellino.

This wine, from the 2023 vintage, is mainly made from these Sangiovese grapes. The vinification takes place in steel tanks, with maceration on the skins, allowing a gentle and precise extraction of aromas and color. It then benefits from 6 to 12 months of aging, which refines its structure and harmonizes its flavors. The color of this Morellino di Scansano is an intense ruby red, with slight garnet reflections that intensify with age. On the nose, you will discover elegant notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, enriched with nuances of sweet spices and a slightly herbaceous touch, typical of Sangiovese from this region. On the palate, this wine reveals a medium body, offering a harmonious balance between a well-present acidity and soft, velvety tannins. The abundant fruitiness blends with a pleasant persistence of spicy aromas and a slight aftertaste of dark chocolate, beautifully completing the tasting experience.

Gourmet pairings: Tuscany at your table

This Morellino di Scansano DOCG from Terenzi is an ideal companion for the robust flavors of Tuscan cuisine. I warmly recommend it with grilled red meats, flavorful roasts, or even a characterful game dish. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, where its soft tannins and fruitiness will balance the richness of the flavors. Serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C so that it fully reveals its entire aromatic palette. This is a wine that does not merely accompany a meal, it elevates it, transforming each bite into a gustatory journey. Let yourself be tempted by this authentic expression of Maremma, a wine that embodies the passion and know-how of Cantina Terenzi.
