Winemaker Notes

The Morellino di Scansano "Vigne del Passero" is fresh and makes for a casual, yet sophisticated experience and is an ideal every day wine. Also ruby red in color, its bouquet features cherries, roses, earth and a pinch of herbs that blend harmoniously together to become a pleasing combination to the most discerning palate.

    Intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries and chocolate and mouthful of seductive red fruit, spice, firm tannin and high acidity. Sangiovese from Maremma at its best.

Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte Scansanos Hills Winery Image
Castello Romitorio’s second estate is Ghiaccio Forte, acquired in 1999 and situated in Scansano, Grosseto. The estate takes its name from the ancient Etruscan settlement of Ghiaccio Forte, the ruins of which are located a short distance from the winery. The Scansano area, with its bare hills and unspoiled nature, stands about 150 meters above sea level, only 25 kilometers from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Altitude, a southwesterly exposure, and volcanic soil create a unique microclimate that produces refined, elegant wines. The Estate’s vineyards are located on the slopes of Monte Aquilaia and along the banks of the Albegna River in southern Scansano, with two distinct soil types; mostly Pliocene gravel on the mountain slopes and silty red earth in the river valley. Vines were planted in two phases; first with local clones of Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, and Syrah, with a small parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon, between 1999 & 2001, and second with Petit Verdot, Syrah, and new clones of Sangiovese in 2006. The Estate currently has nearly 20 hectares under vine, with approximately 12 Hectares in Morellino di Scansano, and is located next to the remains of the Etruscan fortified city Ghiaccio Forte, a National Park from which the winery takes its name. As of 2020, the vineyards are farmed organically.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
