This DOCG wine, named after the Sangiovese grape variety locally called "Morellino," is celebrated for its robustness and distinctive character.

The color of the Morellino di Scansano from Fattoria dei Barbi features a deep ruby red, often with violet highlights that attest to its youth and liveliness. On the palate, the wine is structured and well-balanced, with a pleasant tannic texture that harmonizes well with the typical acidic freshness of Sangiovese. Fruit notes are predominant, with hints of ripe cherry and plum, followed by nuances of aromatic herbs and a slight aftertaste of vanilla, imparted by wood aging that further enriches the aromatic profile of this wine.

This wine is ideal for pairing with Tuscan cuisine, such as grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses.

It is recommended to be served at a temperature of 16-18°C to enhance all its nuances. Fattoria dei Barbi, with its long history and dedication to quality, offers in this Morellino di Scansano a tasting experience that reflects the excellence and authenticity of the Tuscan territory.
