Fattoria le Pupille Morellino di Scansano DOCG Riserva 2023

This wine marks the beginning of Le Pupille's history: even before the introduction of the "DOC Morellino di Scansano?, it was produced as "Rosso di Pereta?. Today, the Riserva is made from strictly selected batches and consists of 90 per cent Sangiovese and 10 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon. After 25 to 30 days' maceration, it is aged for 15 months in large Slavonian oak casks. The 2023 "Morellino di Scansano Riserva' evokes ripe cherries, blackberries and blackcurrants, along with notes of mint, myrtle, forest floor, rhubarb, pomegranate and cocoa. On the palate, it is juicy and lively, with fine tannins, good freshness and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The long finish remains clean and slightly citrusy. A classic, characterful Morellino with depth and good ageing potential.
