Imagine yourself transported to the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, where the air is filled with the scent of wildflowers and ripe grapes. That's where our Valle del Conte Morellino di Scansano DOCG begins its journey. The name “Morellino” is locally used in Scansano and refers to a clone of Sangiovese, which is thought to come from the word “morello”, a brownish horse breed of the Maremma. The area of Morellino di Scansano is in the Maremma region of Tuscany.
Crafted with passion and respect for tradition, this Morellino is a testament to the unique terroir of the Scansano region. The grapes, primarily Sangiovese, thrive in the Mediterranean climate and soils of the Maremma hills, imbuing the wine with its distinctive character. The wine shows a deep ruby red color. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe red berries mingle with subtle hints of spice and earth, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity. Flavors of cherry, plum, and a touch of leather unfold on the tongue, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
This wine is incredibly versatile and food-friendly. Its vibrant acidity makes it an ideal match for a wide range of dishes. Pair it with classic Tuscan fare like pici pasta with wild boar ragu, grilled Florentine steak, or roasted vegetables. It also complements charcuterie boards, hard cheeses, and even grilled salmon.
