For centuries, the Maremma was the land of the butteri – the Tuscan drovers who rode through the marshland on small horses and herded the large white Maremma cattle. The mandriolo, the herdsman, was their trade. Morisfarms has given this name a wine that suits it: down-to-earth, uncomplicated, straightforward. 80% Sangiovese, supplemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot – a pragmatic blend from the Poggetti estate in Massa Marittima. Clay-rich, fossil-rich soils, seven kilometres of coastline, south-west exposure. Harvested in mid to late September, fermented in temperature-controlled cement vats with 15 days of maceration, pumping over twice a day. No wood. Bottled for three months. Finished.

Bright, transparent red in the glass. The nose is fresh and direct: red cherry, raspberry, a hint of Maremma herbs. Warm and round on the palate, with uncomplicated fruit, soft tannins and a pleasant length on the finish. An everyday wine with character. Not a big statement, but a very honest one. SUPERIORE.DE
