MORELLINO DI SCANSANO 'ROCCAPESTA' ROCCAPESTA 2021 DESCRIPTION

Morellino di Scansano "Roccapesta" is a wine that has at its core the grape variety that most represents the Tuscan terroir, of which it is also a brilliant interpreter, namely Sangiovese. In order to make a wine great, the main nexus to take care of is its terroir, and those at Roccapesta know how to do this excellently. Each vintage brings with it field research, the real Maremma research, with its volcanic and sedimentary soils and high expressive potential. The synthesis of the best clones of Sangiovese combined with a small percentage of Ciliegiolo and the work in the vineyard according to the dictates of biodynamics bring Morellino di Scansano "Roccapesta" to its true essence, a wine that has breathed of its environment and gives to those who encounter it the best combinations of what it is made of: the minerality of a unique territory, a favorable microclimate and the beneficial influences of the Mediterranean.

Morellino di Scansano "Roccapesta" is persuasive, soft and must also be cared for during tasting to grasp its different faces, which are more immediate than other Sangiovese-based wines. A beautiful ruby red, this Morellino knows how to express bright scents of fruit such as black cherry, cherry and blackberry, sprinkled with cinnamon, violet, bark and dried red rose. The palate is full and balanced, pleasant and fresh, with a spicy, slightly almondy note on the finish. It is a wine that also puts one on a quest to find oneself.
