About this product
The estate's prestige Morellino, from the Poggio Valente single vineyard on the highest Scansano slopes. Extended oak ageing produces a wine of greater complexity and age-worthiness than the estate label: concentrated dark cherry, tobacco, leather, and mineral depth that rewards 8-10 years of cellaring.

The appellation's own aged Pecorino di Manciano is the natural companion for Poggio Valente; aged balsamic's sweetness bridges the wine's fruit while figs provide the warmth that extends the Maremma pairing.
