The Morellino di Scansano is their flagship wine, a testament to the power and elegance of Sangiovese. It's made with 100% Sangiovese. Imagine the deep, ruby-red hue swirling in your glass, releasing aromas of ripe cherries, wild berries, and a hint of earthy spice. On the palate, it's a symphony of flavors – bright acidity, velvety tannins, and a long, lingering finish that leaves you wanting more.
This wine is incredibly versatile, making it a fantastic partner for a wide range of dishes. Think grilled Tuscan sausage, roasted vegetables with herbs, or a hearty ribollita. Its vibrant acidity cuts through rich flavors, while its fruit-forward character complements lighter fare. It is particularly enjoyable with pasta dishes, especially those with tomato-based sauces, like a simple Spaghetti al Pomodoro or a more complex Ragu. Its balanced profile makes it equally well-suited for pairing with medium-aged cheeses, like Pecorino Toscano. If you're grilling, consider pairing it with herbed chicken or grilled pork loin.
