Grillesino Morellino di Scansano Battiferro Riserva 2018
“Morellino” is the local name for the variety of Sangiovese that grows in Scansano zone (Southern Tuscany). It was granted DOC status back in 1978 and was upgraded to DOCG in 2007. To be labelled Riserva, the Morellino must have spent at least 2 years maturing, one year of which must be spent in oak. This result is a more complex and structured wine with greater depth and aging potential.

Bouquet

On the nose, this wine is intense with aromas of cherries, plums and black fruit followed by light tobacco, chocolate and vanilla.

Flavour

On the palate, it is complex but not austere, showing mature tannins and a long cherry finish. Warm.

Pairing

An excellent accompaniment to tomato-based pasta dishes and roasted or grilled red meats; or, with the savory Maremma specialty of pasta with a dark, long-cooked sauce of tomato and wild boar.
