Morellino Di Scansano is just behind Grosseto. This was the first deployment of wine outside of Chianti 15 years ago. Now it has been bypassed by the Maremma, which is also in the same region. Morellino is Sangiovese, grown on top of smooth hills. It costs less than Chianti and, since it has the same taste, the Florentines became interested by Morellino. The region of Morellino has not had yet the advantage of new roads. The existing roads are all turns, and it takes you one hour to drive ...

Morellino Di Scansano is a varietal that comes from the Sangiovese. It grows mainly in Maremma, the region near the sea near Grossetto. The region was, until about 8 years ago, a region where cattle were grazing but, since the price of land in Chianti was so high, the viticulturists began to buy land in Maremma and planted vineyards. The soil of Maremma is prevalently calcarous and, in some areas one finds volcanic soils; the small town of Scansano is about 25 miles inland and also 500 meters...

Lots of ripe fruit and coffee aromas follow through to a full body, with soft tannins and a long, rich finish. This is layered and opulent.
