Vinous
The 2021 Morellino di Scansano is redolent of wild cherry, game, spice, tobacco, dried herbs and crushed autumn leaves. Savory, layered and expressive, the 2021 offers terrific depth and mid-palate pliancy. Time in the glass brings out further aromatic presence and exotic flair that is hugely appealing.

Plenty of fresh berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine tannins and a crisp finish. Clean and fresh for a Morellino.
