Cantina del Morellino has quickly become one of our favorite producers. Located just inland from the Tuscan coastline, the winery is a family-owned, interconnected network of 170 exceedingly small growers, almost all of them multi-generational and married to the land. The Cantina’s chief enologist, Paolo Caciorgna (a native to Tuscany) oversees harvest throughout the co-op, ensuring quality and tracing the origins of any given wine. Scansano is a historic area, first inhabited by the Etruscans, followed by the Romans and eventually the Grand Dukes of Lorraine, who vacationed each summer in the town's storybook landscape. Today, Cantina del Morellino focuses on traditional Tuscan varieties, including Sangiovese.
Dark cherry and fig with notes of subtle spice and fresh herbs. Flavors of ripe cherry, pomegranate, cracked black pepper, sage, and sea salt blend with present tannins and lifted acidity.
