A bit fruitier and rounder than a Chianti, with a rich texture and complexity. #terreditalamo #morellino #tuscany #sangiovese — 9 years ago

I’m not a fan of #morellino but this is as good as it gets. #tuscany #italy — 4 years ago
Scanzano is in Maremma in southernTuscany. Down here the local clone of Sangiovese is known as Morellino, the growing season is longer and hotter than Chianti. This allows the Morellino di Scansano to fully ripen with higher sugar levels. The wine has a dark colour in the glass, and is full bodied in the mouth. Expect blackberry, spice, a little tartness and firm tannins. Tannins are not too prominent so I would not expect this to mature much after 3-5 years. Drink up!

Yummy. Has a lovely balance between the sweetness and ripeness of fruit and the pinch of acidity and juiciness. All primary notes, but juicy and yummy. More Mediterranean than I expected Youthful. #morellinodiscansano #morellino — 4 years ago
