Morellino di Scansano Fattoria Le Pupille 2024 - 37.5cl

The Morellino di Scansano from Fattoria Le Pupille is a wine with an excellent quality/price ratio, where Sangiovese is blended with a small amount of Alicante and Malvasia Nera. Harvested for the first time by Elisabetta in 1985, this red has perhaps more than any other managed to represent and express the local terroir. We can say that Elisabetta has changed the history of Maremma, once little recognized by the wine world, but which over the years has carved out a nice position thanks to Morellino, the flagship product of the area. Thus, Elisabetta has become the “Lady of Morellino” and the queen of Maremma, rediscovering and giving prestige to this type, elevating it among the most representative types of the territory. This expression has managed to make the most of the great viticultural potential of Maremma and immerse itself in an unspoiled territory of wild beauty. A fundamental role for Elisabetta for having been able to spread the values, aromas, and intensity of this Tuscan red around the world.

The Morellino Fattoria le Pupille is born between Pereta and Magliano in Tuscany, on grapes that are over 40 years old, exposed to the Southwest, kissed by the sun and caressed by the wind. Thus, fruits are born that ripen perfectly thanks also to the precious temperature excursions between day and night. The soil is rich in skeleton with a good clay-iron component. The grapes are harvested at the end of September for the Sangiovese and at the beginning of October for the other two varieties and taken to the places designated for winemaking. This is followed by fermentation in steel with maceration on the skins for at least 15 days. Maturation takes place mainly in steel for about 8 months and a small part of the mass is aged in second-passage barriques. A short refinement in the bottle completes the process, making it ready for marketing.

The red wine Morellino di Scansano flows into the glass with a distinctive violet-red color with ruby highlights. The olfactory bouquet envelops the nose with hints of violet, small wild red fruits, sweet spices, and balsamic aromas. On the palate, it expands with depth and balance, showcasing a distinct fresh component and revealing a smooth and round. Elisabetta has brought a dream to life thanks to her tenacity and enthusiasm that has turned into reality and lives, day after day, in her Morellino.
