Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG

Le Lupinaie: The deep soul of Morellino Riserva

I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscan Maremma, where the winemaking tradition reveals itself in all its splendor. This Morellino di Scansano Riserva 2020 from the Le Lupinaie estate is a promise of authenticity, an encounter with the rustic elegance of a blessed land.

The vibrant terroir of Scansano

Nestled in the hilly landscape of Scansano, in the province of Grosseto, the Le Lupinaie estate passionately cultivates Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany. It is here, under the generous sun of Maremma, that the vines draw their strength to give birth to grapes of exceptional quality. This Morellino Riserva is the fruit of a rigorous selection, a noble and structured expression of this unique terroir.

From the very first glance, its deep ruby color enchants you. On the nose, I perceive a complex symphony of ripe red fruits: juicy cherry, fleshy plum, interwoven with spicy notes of pepper and vanilla. On the palate, this wine reveals a remarkably balanced tannic structure, a long and refined persistence that testifies to its aging. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by a long maceration, then an aging of at least 24 months in oak barrels, gives it this intensity and depth, combining freshness and power.

A table with the flavors of Maremma

To accompany this gem, I suggest pairings that honor its richness. Imagine it alongside roasted red meats, a fine cut of game, or with aged cheeses. This Morellino di Scansano Riserva is more than a wine; it is an invitation to share a moment of conviviality, an instant of pure Tuscan pleasure. It embodies the very essence of Maremma, capturing its rustic elegance in every sip.
