Val delle Rose, Morellino di Scansano, 2009
Scent of fresh black fruit with cinnamon and coffee. Black cherry core, ripe but light and mildly spicy. Silky, very subtle tannins. Very long, perfumed finish. Now-2013
Morellino is the name for the clone of Sangiovese grown in the Maremma around Scansano near the southern Tuscan coast - and it makes a consistently good wine, all ripe cherries and elegance. This excellent example, from the Tuscan Cecchi family, is just rounded by five months in old barrels.
