Tuscany | Maremma

Even with the entry-level wine, Morisfarms does not deviate a bit from its usual quality standard, which has delighted us with its consistency for over 15 years now. Freshness and relaxed drinkability are the strengths of the Rosso Maremma with its earthy fruit bouquet of cherry and plum and its spicy notes in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Curtain up for a lively Italian Rosato: Bright orange-pink, delicate floral nose with hints of small red fruits. Delicate fresh fruit on the palate, neither ripe nor sweet.

"Sweet apples, pears, white flowers and hints of candied lime create an inviting bouquet as the 2020 Vermentino Melacce Montecucco blossoms in the glass.

It finishes fresh and honeyed, with a touch of salty minerals that create wonderful contrasts." Vinous

On the palate very precise, juicy and with young tannin, crisp fruit, high drinkability, in a few months even more complete. A great food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

The vineyards for this likeable Vermentino lie on gentle hills with the typical ferruginous soils of the Maremma, a mixture of silt and alluvial sand with gravel and gravel components. Mongrana Bianco reflects the characteristic features of its red sibling and beautifully illustrates the quality that Querciabella has been bringing to the bottle in Maremma for years: restrained power, freshness and saltiness from the coast and a purity of fruit that is the winery's trademark. Just 5,000 bottles of the debut 2020 vintage were produced. SUPERIORE.DE
