Massi di Mandorlaia
Massi Di Mandorlaia Morellino Di Scansano (2013)
Aromas recalling Mediterranean brush, fresh violet, moist soil and a toasted note lead the way. The straightforward palate offers juicy wild cherry, dried sage, espresso and a hint of anise alongside lithe tannins.
HARVEST NOTE
Morellino di Scansano is a dry red wine from the coastal hills of southern Tuscany in Italy. One of the region’s lesser-known DOCG wines, it sits, somewhat underappreciated, in the shadow of its more famous counterparts from Chianti, Montalcino, and Montepulciano.
The wine is produced in the rolling hills around the medieval village of Scansano.
TASTING NOTE
Dark intense purple color. Complex spicy and mineral notes lead to fruity aromas, round body, light acidic note well harmonized with powerful alcohol. Nice balsamic nose finish.
