Motta Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG 2022

A deep garnet red with slightly orange reflections at the rim, from Sangiovese grown on sandy, siliceous hills in the Maremma. It spends at least fourteen months in tonneau and six months in bottle before release. The nose is intense and enveloping, balancing fruity notes with sweet spice. The palate is firm and tannic, yet soft and flavourful, with a persistent finish recalling tobacco and fruit in spirit. It pairs well with aged pecorino, fossa cheese, roast pheasant and wild boar stew.
