Grape Variety

Producer

Cantina Vignaioli del Morellino di Scansano

An interesting bottling of “mostly” Ciliegiolo, the grape that is usually a minor blending component to Sangiovese. A deep ruby in appearance, it shows the nose of medium-intensity kirsch/sour cherry preserve, ink, gingerbread and mineral overtones. The palate is dry with a medium acidity, a medium extract, lighter-than medium fine tannins and a medium body. A nice length and fruit follow, with inky, sour cherry and floral elements and a medium finish. 2024-2025–IR
