Description
What kind of wine it is
Podere 414 Morellino di Scansano is an organic red wine that embodies the soul of Tuscany through a blend of Sangiovese, Alicante, Ciliegiolo, Colorino and Syrah grapes. Produced in the Morellino di Scansano area, it reveals an intense and deep ruby red colour in the glass. On the nose, it offers an aromatic profile dominated by ripe red fruit, finely interwoven with notes of vanilla, liquorice and spicy hints. On the palate, it displays a medium body with a silky texture, broad and smooth thanks to the presence of gentle tannins. The sip stands out for being clean, lively and rounded, constantly supported by a pleasant freshness.
Where it comes from
This red originates in the Tuscan Maremma, in the municipality of Magliano in Toscana. Podere 414's winemaking approach is rooted in a historical context linked to the 1960 agrarian reform, with an agricultural project focused on deep respect for the land. The vineyards are managed entirely through organic farming and maintain a high planting density to encourage aromatic concentration in the grapes. The influence of the warm Maremma terroir is directly reflected in the wine's flavour profile, giving it a balanced structure, a clear expression of fruit and a slight salinity on the finish that enriches the tasting experience.
How it is produced
After a careful manual harvest, vinification takes place in modern cement vats and small truncated-cone tanks. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, triggered exclusively by indigenous yeasts. During the prolonged maceration on the skins at controlled temperature, frequent pump-overs alternate with délestage. To enhance the complexity of the blend, the Ciliegiolo undergoes a pre-fermentation carbonic maceration, while a portion of the Alicante is slightly dried on the vine. Ageing continues for twelve months in wooden barrels, a measured step that softens the structure without ever overpowering the natural expression of the fruit.
History and Curiosities
Produced in the heart of the Maremma, the Morellino di Scansano DOCG from Podere 414 reflects a deep respect for the land, with historical roots dating back to the agrarian reform of 1960. This fine organic red wine combines the authenticity of the area with artisanal methods, using indigenous yeasts and concrete vats to preserve the natural expression of the grapes. Born from a project launched in 1998 in Magliano in Toscana, this label expresses the vibrant and genuine local farming tradition, offering a sustainable experience of absolute quality.
