About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Sangiovese grapes grow in the Morellino di Scansano production area.

Vinification

Ageing

The wine matures for 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Light and fresh in style.

Label / history

The region’s name combines Morellino, the local name for Sangiovese, with the nearby town of Scansano.
