The Lohsa estate is located in Magliano in Toscana – deep in the Maremma, less than 30 kilometres from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Federico Carletti bought it in the 1990s and replanted the vineyards: Sangiovese as the heart, Ciliegiolo as the Tuscan companion. The soils here are Galestro and marl, skeleton-rich, well-drained, at an altitude of around 100 metres – the sea is close enough to moderate the ripeness without taking away the structure. Morellino di Scansano is Sangiovese in Maremma guise: sunnier, softer, more accessible than its big siblings in the north – but with its own character. Fermentation in stainless steel, followed by partial ageing in wood: the wine remains fresh and loses none of its Mediterranean directness.

Bright ruby red with violet reflections. The nose: cherry, sour cherry, violets, a hint of thyme. Warm and juicy on the palate, with soft tannins and an animating finish. A Morellino for every occasion – without ifs and buts. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fruity and primary bouquet with reductive red berries and herbs. The palate is crisp and light, with fresh tannins and plenty of cherry in a fruity, soft finish. Unconstrained and light." James Suckling

"Vibrant black cherries, sweet herbs, stone dust and a hint of spice form a tantalising bouquet when the Morellino di Scansano 2022 opens in the glass. It is juicy and fruit-driven, with brilliant acidity and crisp mineral tones that lend it a lovely traction. On the finish, the Morellino di Scansano is remarkably fresh and perfumed, leaving a violet, floral note that tantalises the palate." Vinous
