Description

The Santa Maria Morellino di Scansano 2023 by Frescobaldi is a quintessential expression of Tuscany’s Maremma region. Produced at the esteemed Tenuta Ammiraglia estate, this wine captures the vibrant and sun-drenched spirit of the Tyrrhenian coast. Crafted primarily from Sangiovese, the soul of Tuscan winemaking, with a thoughtful addition of Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers a perfect balance of traditional heritage and modern, accessible elegance. In the glass, it glows with a brilliant, intense ruby red color. The bouquet is immediately inviting, unfolding with clear, fresh notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, and blackcurrants. As it breathes, subtle Mediterranean nuances emerge, including delicate floral hints of iris and rose, complemented by a sophisticated touch of citrusy bergamot and a warm, lingering spice profile of cinnamon and anise. On the palate, this wine is exceptionally harmonious. It delivers a lively, fresh acidity perfectly tempered by soft, rounded tannins, making it incredibly approachable. The structure is elegant and persistent, leaving a clean, flavorful aftertaste that brings back memories of wild berries and a pleasant, light hint of liquorice. This is a versatile, dynamic wine that excels in social settings. It is the ideal companion for a wide array of dishes: it shines alongside traditional stewed meats like chicken or rabbit, but also pairs beautifully with a hearty pasta ragù or medium-aged pecorino cheeses. Whether you are hosting a casual dinner or looking for a reliable, high-quality bottle for an everyday occasion, the Santa Maria brings the authentic, welcoming character of Tuscany directly to your table.
