Tasting notes

The season will be remembered as one of the hottest in recent years, with temperatures consistently above seasonal averages. The spring rains ensured vineyards had the necessary water reserves for the entire summer, which was characterised by persistent drought and constant temperatures above 30°C, with localised rainy spells of low intensity. The year was therefore marked by an early sprouting of the vine, as well as flowering that began a few days earlier than seasonal averages. However, the hot final summer days allowed for an excellent harvest with perfectly ripened grapes.

Wine Variety: Sangiovese with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon

Alcohol content: 13%

Maturation: Stainless steel - 10 months

Organoleptic Notes: A bright and lively Morellino that expresses all the Mediterranean nuances of the Maremma Toscana coastline. The bouquet is pleasantly fruity. The scents of small red berries marry perfectly with the floral notes. On the palate the wine is lively yet elegantly enveloping, with a very clear tangy note. The ideal companion for the full-flavoured simplicity of Tuscany.

Wine pairing: Perfect with meat sauce, roasted red or white meat and semi-aged cheeses.

Available formats: 75 cl
