Morellino di Scansano – Le Pupille

Description

Walking through the hills of the Maremma at sunset, with the scent of the sea coming softly and the air smelling of Mediterranean scrub: Fattoria Le Pupille’s Morellino di Scansano takes you exactly there. It is one of those wines that tell of a wilder Tuscany, where Sangiovese meets the salty wind and gives a clear memory of outdoor dining, soft lighting and simple but perfect dishes, such as at Trattoria 4 Leoni after a day of art and ancient villages.

Grape variety and winemaking

Morellino di Scansano Le Pupille comes from a cuvée predominantly of Sangiovese, complemented by native vines such as Alicante and Malvasia Nera. Vinification takes place mainly in steel, to preserve the freshness and fragrance of the fruit, with an aging that enhances the aromas of cherry, small red fruits and light spicy notes, without wooden superstructures.

Food pairings

It is the ideal companion for the most authentic Tuscan flavors: pappardelle with meat sauce, grilled steak, pork loin, Cinta Senese cured meats, legume soups and medium-aged cheeses.

Who is it suitable for and on what occasion

Perfect for those who love immediate but not trivial reds, with a pleasant drinkability and a marked territorial soul. It is the right wine for a dinner with friends in which you want to relive the lightness of the evenings spent in Florence, or as a souvenir bottle of a trip to Tuscany to open when you return home.
