Fattoria dei Barbi Morellino di Scansano 2017 |
Morellino is a wine born in Maremma, an area in the extreme south of Tuscany, produced with Sangiovese, locally called Morellino, and 15% of black grape varieties allowed in the Tuscany Region. It is a well structured and balanced wine, with soft tannins and a lively acidity. Despite having ancient roots, it has a modern and captivating taste.
It has medium intensity ruby red with purple hues. Bouquet of small red fruits mixed with ripe cherries, hints of myrtle and Mediterranean scrub. And warm taste with round tannins, savory, fresh and vibrant backbone with notes of green tobacco in the aftertaste. "Fresh" wine, marketable from the spring following the harvest.
Ideal for savory meat dishes, roasts, wild boar “scottiglie” typical of Maremma cuisine, particularly savory meats and cheeses. Excellent combination for fish soups and in general any type of fish cooked with spices or tomato sauce.
