Description

The Morellino di Scansano DOCG from Poggio al Lupo is a splendid example of how southern Tuscany can masterfully and characteristically express the Sangiovese variety. This wine, produced in the gentle hills surrounding Scansano, benefits from a particularly favorable climate that promotes optimal ripening of the grapes.

In the glass, the Morellino di Scansano by Poggio al Lupo presents itself with a deep ruby red color, with shades that tend to garnet with aging. On the nose, it opens with a rich and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums stand out, enhanced by spicy and slightly balsamic nuances typical of the territory.

Tasting reveals a medium-bodied wine, agile yet structured, maintaining a nice balance between fresh acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. This Morellino beautifully plays between power and elegance, exhibiting a pleasant aromatic persistence that invites the next sip.

Ideal for accompanying a wide range of dishes, this wine is particularly suited for grilled red meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses. It is also excellent to enjoy alone, as a contemplative wine.

Partially aged in oak barrels to enrich its profile without overpowering the fruity character of the Sangiovese, the Morellino di Scansano DOCG from Poggio al Lupo represents an excellent choice for those seeking a wine that combines tradition and enjoyment, suitable for both experienced palates and those approaching the wines of this esteemed denomination for the first time.

Winery history

The property began as a project of Tommasi Family Estates to expand production beyond Valpolicella. The acquisition of land in the Pitigliano area dates back to the late 1990s, and since then the company has developed the Rompicollo, Albore and Doganella estates, renovating the farmhouse and planting vineyards aimed at producing Tuscan blends and single-varietal wines.

Production philosophy

Terroir-focused approach and pedoclimatic research: vineyard zoning, selection of suitable clones and rootstocks, high planting density and thinning techniques to prioritize the quality and character of the fruit, with attention to the typical expressions of the Maremma and its tuffaceous soils.

Terroir and vineyards

The estates are located in the Tuscan Maremma, around Pitigliano and Scansano. The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate and sit on tuffaceous soils of volcanic origin that influence minerality and water retention, with distinct microzones such as Rompicollo, Albore and Doganella.
