Gualtiero Morellino di Scansano Riserva from Morisfarms shows why this traditional family winery is a firm favourite in the Maremma. The cuvée is predominantly based on Sangiovese (Morellino), supplemented by small proportions of international varieties. The vines grow on sun-drenched hills between the Tyrrhenian coast and the cool foothills of Monte Amiata, whose clay and sandy soils lend the wine fruit and structure. Careful manual harvesting was followed by temperature-controlled fermentation, after which the Riserva matured for 12 months in a combination of barriques and large wooden barrels to harmoniously combine elegance and complexity.

Medium ruby red in the glass with a garnet-red hue. The nose opens with sour cherry, blackberry and ripe plum, underpinned by violets, Mediterranean herbs and a hint of tobacco. The palate is juicy, balanced and supported by fine tannins, with lively acidity and a spicy finish. It combines ripe, sunny fruit with classic elegance and is an ideal accompaniment to Tuscan cuisine – a red full of character with depth, which is already a pleasure to drink today and can mature for several years.

"Bright purple with ruby red reflections. Inviting aromas of milk chocolate and sweet wild berries on the nose, very concentrated, with elegant wood spice. Confirms its rich profile on the palate, then with powerful tannins and fresh acidity through to the long finish." Falstaff

"On the 20th anniversary of the death of Gualtier Luigi Moris, the ancestor of the winery: Seductive bouquet of red berries, rose hips, herbal tea; intriguing attack, the fine-grained tannins and acidity in harmony, then a delicious spicy-fruity finish." Vinum
