Grillesino Riserva Morellino Di Scansano Magnum 2013

The Morellino variety, technically defined as "a strain" of much more
renowned Sanvgiovese, is grown in the Maremma in particular in the
Scansano area, from which the famous DOCG. Legend has it that the
the vine derives its name from the dark color of the skin (tending to dark)
similar to the color of the coat of the Maremma horses, typical of the area of
production. The location south of Tuscany and the proximity to the Mar
Tyrrhenian sea give warm growing seasons that allow the grapes to
fully mature and develop high sugar levels. The result
they are full-bodied, solid and complex wines but not "difficult" to appreciate
as sometimes happens with many supertuscans. Despite the rewards
and the preferences accorded to this variety, the morellino still runs away
the great masses and in fact remains one of the "hidden gems" of oenology
Tuscany. The Morellino Riserva has spent at least 2 years aging
which at least 1 in wood. The result is a more mature wine than the
classic version, with greater complexity and great potential
aging.
