Morellino di Scansano Riserva 2021
Deep and bright ruby. Olfactory impact of blackberry and blueberry jam, blackcurrant and mint; it opens on scents of Mediterranean scrub, blood orange, tobacco and black pepper. The entry into the mouth is fresh and tasty; it shows a dynamic structure, imbued with a beautiful freshness in which the fine tannic texture constitutes an excellent base for evolving for a long time in the bottle. Very persistent on citrus notes.
The Riserva represents the roots of Fattoria Le Pupille. Originally called “Rosso di Pereta”, it is the first wine produced by the company, which later became, with the birth of the denomination in 1978, Morellino di Scansano.
