Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG 2021 - Motta

A Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG from Motta, from the 2021 vintage. It is made from Sangiovese grown on the hills of Maremma, on sandy and siliceous soil. The wine spends at least fourteen months in tonneau and six months in bottle before release. It is deep garnet red with slightly orange reflections, with an intense, enveloping aroma balancing fruity notes and sweet spices. The palate is decisive and tannic, yet soft and tasty, with a persistent finish recalling tobacco and fruit in spirit. It pairs with aged pecorino and fossa cheese, and with roast pheasant with wild boar stew.
