Grillesino Morellino di Scansano Battiferro 2018
“Morellino” is a grape that is technically a strain of Sangiovese, call it a “kissing cousin”. It is cultivated in the Scansano area, South Tuscany, about 20 miles east of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Legend has it that the grape was given its name because the brown hue of the grapes is similar the color of the Marmmano horses.

Colour

Bright garnet red tending to ruby.

Bouquet

An expressive, attractive nose with black cherry, plum and black fruit aromas, along with a definite vegetal element (green peppers) and some earthy hints.

Flavour

On the palate it immediately tastes rich, ripe black cherry and berry flavors that blend into a pleasant tartness. Tannins are soft at first, then firm up in the lengthy, balanced finish which exudes ample acidity and a final punch of black fruit.

Pairing

It drinks well with simple but tasty food as ham sandwich, hamburger, steak, mushrooms. Perfect also with ragù pasta.
