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 10 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

The name says it all: this rosato is reminiscent of the unconventional times of 1968 in its lightness and buoyancy. Pale pink in the glass, it exudes the scent of white fruits and virtually dances until the fruity-fresh finish. The overall impression is of a cheerful yet serious rosato with a high drinking fluency! SUPERIORE.DE

With the Pelofino, Elisabetta Geppetti has created a fruity-spicy cuvée from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Elegant aromas of dark fruits in the bouquet, wide and powerful on the palate, yet beautifully balanced. A wine with an excellent price-pleasure ratio. 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. Medium-bodied, very straightforward and clean, with lively acidity, delicate melting and a respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Rosato Rosamundi is understated and floral, featuring notes of young strawberries, roses and hints of stone dust. It's soft in feel yet vibrant, literally buzzing with citrusy acids and minerals, as crunchy red fruits cascade across the palate. Energy remains high as this tapers off tense with hints of sour melon mixing with sweet herbs through the finale." Vinous

Slowly, the bouquet of this Sangiovese blend opens to reveal its wonderful scent of red berries and subtle hints of spices. On the palate, a natural concentration, immense softness and harmony, a well-structured tannic information acts as a counterpoint. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderful, energetic Vermentino with a small part of Petit Manseng, which gives it freshness and "crunch". Surprises on the nose with grapefruit, rosemary and a hint of mirabelle plum and thyme. On the palate, honeydew melon, peach, Mediterranean spices and in the convincing final, hints of citrus fruits and white pepper. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red. Spicy with hints of red fruits and a wonderfully subtle wood note. Gentle tannins round off the harmonious overall experience of this successful food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

Morellino with a fine bouquet of cherry fruit and spicy herbs, opens very juicy and firm on the palate, supple and persistently fruity on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very attractive Morellino, offering berry, black-cherry and chocolate character with some walnut. Medium-bodied with firm, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

Characteristic straw yellow with bright reflexes. Delicately fruity, clear bouquet of medium ripe pear, some apricot and a nutty note. In the drink fresh and of unmistakable finesse, with tender-herbal notes and animatingly juicy. A crisp-fresh Tuscan with beautiful harmony and pleasurable drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright straw yellow with radiant, silvery reflections. Fine floral aroma, fresh citrus scent and hints of apricots and Mediterranean herbal spice. Mild on the palate, restrained acidity, freshness, a delicate yeasty note and a fine almond tone. The intense skin contact during maceration gives this Vermentino from Maremma its impressive personality and class. SUPERIORE.DE

Fruity, floral and delicately spicy nuances on the nose. Fresh texture on the palate, pleasant red berry flavour with notes of grapefruit and blood orange. A drinking pleasure full of character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very fresh, lively and authentic bouquet, herbal, with a touch of fresh oregano, almost floral, with pink grapefruit. A persistent rose that is juicy and has great substance." Weinwisser

"Bright orange-pink with a sparkling core. The nose is restrained and filigree, discreet orange tone. On the palate polished and clear, tightens up with discreet melting, slightly salty, spans a fine arc, slightly bitter in the final." Falstaff

"The Fattoria le Pupille 2020 RosaMati is made with Syrah from what was previously considered to be two vineyard plots that have now been made into a single vineyard. This Tuscan rosato shares many similarities with a Provençal rosé from right up the coast on the Via Aurelia that links Italy and France. A small part of the wine is fermented in tonneaux, adding slightly more textural richness to this wine. Raspberry and wild cherry segue to garden herb and violets." Robert Parker

"A pink grapefruit-colored rosé with aromas of wild raspberries, cherries and citrus zest. Hints of spice. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity and flavorful, creamy layers of fruit. Delicious finish." James Suckling

Provence? No, it's just Maremma! Here comes a rosato that really doesn't have to hide from the classic southern French, but at the same time it has a cornucopia of Tuscan nonchalance and identity. Fine, herbaceous, red-berry scent, with Mediterranean-salty hints. On the palate, an invigorating freshness with well-dosed acidity, which gives the wine a crispness and tension that many an Italian Rosato would like to have. For all its lightness and freshness, it is serious and precise with every sip, the fine spiciness gives it character and depth and makes every sip a highly respectable drinking pleasure! SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red, with a fruity-herbal scent, spicy taste and fresh acidity, this evergreen from the Maremma (not only as a perfect food companion) convinces us every year anew. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright garnet with a transparent core. Opens with a rich aroma of freshly roasted malt coffee, black elderberry and cherry liqueur, with hints of tobacco. Stretches pleasantly over the tongue, shows itself supple and balanced, interwoven in the tannin, of medium weight, reverberates extensively, has potential." Falstaff

Fine Morellino from the Poggio al Lupo winery in Magliano, from the south of the province of Grosseto, with a delicious bouquet of red fruits, rosemary and bitter chocolate. On the palate, a generous variety of aromas. Flattering tannin, enveloping. Gentle and long finish, very drinkable! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red. Distinctly fragrant of small wild berries and sour cherry, paired with fine spice, black pepper, fleshy in the attack. Spans finely over the tongue, young interwoven tannin, very straightforward in approach and course, shows a certain dynamism, slightly salty on the final." Falstaff

"Very attractive and drinkable Morellino with cherry, berry and mineral undertones. Medium body. Fresh finish." James Suckling

Bright, shining ruby. Youthful nose of early ripe cherries and wild strawberries, slightly vegetal, delicately peppery and spicy in the aftertaste. On the palate very juicy and with young tannin, crisp fruit, high drinkability, in a few months still complete, great food companion. SUPERIORE.DE

"The change in the winery is most evident here. Much more precise, purer than previous vintages. Enormously fragrant, fresh and crisp, with red fruits, cherry, raspberry. Extremely animating to drink with fine tannin, remains delicate and elegant until the final. Very animating. Bravo!" Weinwisser

"Their easy-drinking 2020 Morellino di Scansano delivers lots of soft cherry and sweet ripeness. This Sangiovese-based wine also shows Mediterranean herb and wild rose. These are fresh and immediate results to pair with a plate of cheese ravioli in sage and butter sauce. The wine concludes with a soft, accessible personality." Robert Parker

Poggio Argentato is a beautifully balanced white with a French touch. On the nose, a multi-layered bouquet with a fine herbal note. On the palate, powerful, fresh, elegant and supported by a mineral acidity, citrus tones in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A blend of rather light soils. In the fragrance a nice mix of almonds, herbs, behind fresh pear. Very juicy with nice acidity and piquancy coming from the P. Manseng. Nice grip with a lovely salty mineral final." Weinwisser

"Sliced pears, apples, lemon pips and some fennel on the nose. It's medium-to full-bodied with a creamy texture. Clean and fresh finish." James Suckling

"The Fattoria le Pupille 2020 Poggio Argentato is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Manseng, Traminer and Semillon, and the percentage of Sauvignon Blanc in this vintage was raised from 60% of the blend to 70%. This slight adjustment makes a big impact on the wine's perfumes, especially in a hot vintage such as this. Cold temperatures during pressing and the use of stainless steel helps to lock in tropical aromas, minty apple and crushed limestone. The Petit Manseng helps to give more vertical lift to the bouquet." Robert Parker

Made from a blend of Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese, Zingari has a dark ruby colour and a characteristic Maremma aroma. Warm and round on the palate with notes of blueberries, blackberries and spices. A complex wine that is sure to find many admirers. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright garnet with brightening rim. Fine-scented, spicy nose of red berries and light leather, reverberating with dried tomatoes. Fresh and juicy on the palate with clear fruit, still very youthful, already coherent in itself, a little bottle maturity will do it good, excellent value!" Falstaff

"A fresh, vivid red with cherries, currants and hints of hazelnuts and chocolate. Medium body. Racy finish. Like the vivid acidity that runs through this." James Suckling

Dark ruby red. Aromas of dark cherry, blueberry, milk chocolate and pepper are enhanced by intense violet notes. Supple, concentrated and with a fine sweetness in the drink, with lush red fruits and dark berry flavours. The medium-long finish with strong but well-integrated tannins and good acidity pull. A very impressive entry-level wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of black fruit, currants, oyster shells, iodine, cocoa and herbs. It's full-bodied with tight, firm tannins. Structured and savory." James Suckling

Here comes the debut vintage of a bright, sunny and single-varietal Ansonica. Clear pale yellow. Fine fragrance of almond, peach and Mediterranean macchia. Fresh on the palate with an interesting bitter note, fine, restrained acidity, well-proportioned melting and a salty-mineral vein in the well-structured finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Ansonica Amor is a pretty, light-bodied wine ideal for drinking over the next year or two. Lemon confit, jasmine and light tropical accents give this white so much sheer appeal." Vinous

Unlitro di Ampeleia (1 Liters) remarkably expresses the vitality of the estate's youngest vineyards. Fresh, dynamic and with enormous drinking flow. A relaxed wine, but by no means banal and Demeter-certified. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lots of rose petal and berry character with strawberry and cranberry aromas and flavors. Hints of citrus. Medium-bodied with fine and delicate tannins and a fresh finish. Delicious to drink and comes in a liter bottle." James Suckling

Beautiful Vermentino with great freshness and a lot of verve. Pear, apple, flowers and a hint of mint characterise the bouquet. Generous and nuanced on the palate, in a structured style, with clarity and elegance - very successful! SUPERIORE.DE

"Clear bright lemon yellow with golden accents. Fine nose of fresh white flowers, lemon balm blossom, some elderberry, ripe slightly dried apricot, lime peel in the aftertaste. Supple on the palate, stretches smoothly over the tongue, elegant with fine acidity, finesse-rich final, very good drinking flow." Falstaff

"Sliced apple, pear and salted lemon on the nose. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy, juicy texture. Fruity and flavorful." James Suckling
