Description

Morellino Podere 414, the only wine produced by the farm contains 85% of Sangiovese, accompanied by Ciliegiolo, a local vine variety, traditional of Maremma territory and particularly valuable for giving freshness to the wine; Alicante is responsble for conferring it a mediterranean sign, spicy and intense, and Colorino. This Morellino represents all the features of Maremma's character, impetuous at first sight, though generous in colour, in aroma and in body, just like its territory of origin.

Organoleptic analysis: the colour is intense ruby red. The bouquet is characterized by key notes of ripe fruit which blend with secondary spicy notes complemented by a woody note. On the mouth it delivers body, roundness and freshness, derived from the quality of the tannins and the sustained
acidity. Our aim is the creation of a wine which distinguisches itself, thanks to its peculiarities of harmony and refinement, rendering any meal more pleasant end flowing without overbearing. This year vintage fully lives up to the previous once in standards of both quality and regional reputation.
