FATTORIA LE PUPILLE MORELLINO DI SCANSANO
$20.99
The Morellino di Scansano is the wine which better represents, as well in quantitative terms, Fattoria Le Pupille’s wine production. Since its first vintage – 1985, it had always been accompanying the winery as a full and constant expression of its territory.
Profile:
Brilliant red with light ruby reflections. The smell is
intense, with important scents of red fruit, in particular
blueberries and freshly picked cherry. On the palate the wine is
silky, fresh, with a light aromatic persistence.The tannins are
very present but well balanced.
Food Pairing:
Perfect with sauce based first courses, even more
elaborated ones and second courses typical of Maremma
cuisine. At a 18°C temperature it is very good as an appetizer
companion.

Description
90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Made with 90% Sangiovese and 10% Ciliegiolo, this opens with aromas of red-skinned berry, underbrush and baking spice. The bright palate offers dried red cherry, star anise and white pepper alongside velvety tannins. Drink through 2025. -Kerin O’Keefe
89 Points, Wine Advocate
The hot 2020 vintage recorded one of the earliest harvests in Fattoria le Pupille’s history. Their easy-drinking 2020 Morellino di Scansano delivers lots of soft cherry and sweet ripeness. This Sangiovese-based wine also shows Mediterranean herb and wild rose. These are fresh and immediate results to pair with a plate of cheese ravioli in sage and butter sauce. The wine concludes with a soft, accessible personality. -Monica Larner
