The Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG "Le Sentinelle" is a prestigious example in the production of Mantellassi winery, known for its dedication to preserving the wine traditions of the Maremma region. This reserve wine is a tribute to the unique terroir of Scansano, which imparts distinctive characteristics and surprising complexity to the Morellino.
Originating from carefully selected vineyards, the Morellino di Scansano Riserva "Le Sentinelle" is predominantly made from Sangiovese grapes, with a small addition of other local varieties that enrich the structure and aroma of the wine. The vinification process follows traditional methods, followed by aging for at least two years, partly in large wooden barrels and partly in the bottle, to ensure the proper development of the bouquet and the maturation of the tannic components.
On the nose, "Le Sentinelle" exhibits a rich and complex aromatic profile, featuring notes of ripe berries and sweet spices, with a subtle aftertaste of vanilla and leather due to the wood aging period. On the palate, the wine is robust and well-balanced, with pleasant acidity and soft, velvety tannins that lead to a long and persistent finish.
Ideal for pairing with rich and flavorful dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, the Morellino di Scansano Riserva "Le Sentinelle" from Cantina Mantellassi expresses its best character when served at a temperature between 18 and 20°C. With its balance between power and elegance, this wine is splendidly suited for immediate consumption as well as for further aging, maturing thanks to its solid and harmonious structure.
Ultimately, "Le Sentinelle" by Mantellassi is a wine that not only tells the story of a territory rich in tradition but also invites you to a deep and unforgettable sensory experience.
