Fresh, soft and texture of a young Sangiovese Maremma. Its fruity aroma makes it an excellent aperitif and also encourages pairings with appetizers made with cheese and red meat.  Our Morellino di Scansano is produced with 90% Sangiovese “Morellino” grape and 10% Alicante in our winery located between the beautiful Natural Park of Maremma and the amazing Monte Argentario peninsula off the coast of Grosseto, Tuscany.
