Bellamarsilia – Morellino di Scansano DOCG

Grapes: Sangiovese 85% – Ciliegiolo 15%

Vines: mostly young vineyards located in different areas along the coast of Maremma, near the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean climate, mild winters and hot, dry and sunny springs and summers.

Vinification: fermented and matured in stainless steel, temperature controlled vats.

Notes: The Morellino di Scansano (the name probably comes from the “Morello” colour of the Maremmano horse, a very regarded breed that is used by the Italian Army) is the only DOCG wine from Maremma (the highest rank in the Italian Appellation System), very popular for its freshness and sunny character. The Mediterranean climate gives a different expression to the Sangiovese grapes than  inland  Tuscany, (our winery is by the sea) , where the climate is more continental. The fruit is certainly more ripe here, red cherry, some strawberry notes, more savoury notes with age. Sometimes the wine can be a bit rustic, which, far from being a defect, means  it pairs magnificently with the rustic, full flavoured local cusine, were game and in particolar wild boar, pheasant and hare are plentiful. Drink it now, but you can enjoy it for 5 more years after bottling.
