Roggiano Morellino di Scansano DOCG Vignaioli Morellino Scansano
“Mostly Sangiovese,” the winery states. “Morellino” is a name for Sangiovese in this part of Tuscany. Made in a fruit-forward, unoaked style, it has a deep ruby colour medium-intensity, very pretty floral/carnation, new leather, cornelian cherry/red plum and wild strawberry preserve aromas on the nose. The palate is dry with a medium acidity, medium-plus extract, medium-loose tannins and a medium-plus body. It shows a nice length and fruit of plum, cherry, wild strawberry and leather and a medium-plus finish. It will last until 2024-2026 but very enjoyable now.–IR
Vigna Benefizio Morellino di Scansano DOCG Vignaioli Morellino Scansano
A single-vineyard Sangiovese with longer skin contact and a six month-stint in second and third-fill French barriques. Deep ruby in the glass, it shows a subtle, shy-of-medium intensity on the nose with chestnut and red berry compote – cherry, strawberry – elements still coming into focus. The palate delivers a medium acidity, is dry, with a medium extract, medium fine tannins, and medium body with plum and gingerbread flavours and a medium finish. 2024-2025–IR
Vin del Fattore, Governo all'Uso Toscano, Sangiovese Maremma Toscana, DOC, Vignaioli Morellino Sca
"Governo” is a process of adding slightly dried berries, or in this case a blending fraction from raisinated grapes, to the regular grape ferment and then allowing it to run its course, with the aim of richer mouthfeel and added complexity. A deep ruby robe is the glass. It opens with medium-intensity aromas of sour cherry preserve, ink, peonies and bitter chocolate brownie. It has a dry, medium-acidity palate, with a medium extract, medium fine tannins and a medium body, a nice poise, a lovely length and fruit intensity with cherry, floral, raw bitter chocolate flavours and a medium-plus finish. 2024-2026–IR
