Morellino di Scansano DOCG

Morellino di Scansano, in the Maremma Grossetana of southern Tuscany, produces Sangiovese-based reds of remarkable warmth and accessibility. The local name 'Morellino' for Sangiovese reflects the variety's small, dark-skinned expression in this coastal zone, where the Mediterranean influence tempers the acidity and adds plummy richness unusual in traditional Sangiovese wines.
