Fattoria Mantellassi San Guiseppe Morellino di Scansano DOCG 2024, 0,75 L

There are red wines that you pour and instantly want another glass. This Morellino di Scansano is exactly that. Uncomplicated in the best possible sense, it is full of charm and offers a well-judged balance of fruit, flavour and freshness.

In the glass, it shows a bright ruby red colour. The nose brings ripe cherries, red forest berries and a hint of Mediterranean herbs, along with a delicate spice that invites the first sip. On the palate, this Tuscan wine is beautifully juicy, soft and well balanced. The tannins are pleasantly subtle and, together with the fresh style, give it an easy, flowing drinkability.

The Sangiovese grape variety thrives around Scansano. The warm climate of southern Tuscany encourages intense fruit and appealing ripeness, while cooling influences from the sea lend the wine its refreshing character. This combination is exactly what makes Morellino di Scansano so widely enjoyed.

It pairs perfectly with pasta in tomato sauce, pizza from a wood-fired oven or grilled meat. It is also very enjoyable on its own on the terrace. An honest Tuscan that is simply always a pleasure.
