Le Lupinaie, Morellino di Scansano, 2024
It's not just English people who long to live on a farm in Tuscany - in 1991 Aldo Galimberti, tired of living in Florence, realised the same dream, buying an old farmhouse near Montiano in the heart of the Maremma. Now his family farm 25 hectares of vines on rolling hills just inland from the Tuscan coast.
We also ship the family's delicious Ciliegiolo, but their principal wine is their Morellino (= Sangiovese) di Scansano (a town just south-east of Grosseto). Sangiovese is known as a multi-clonal variety, and the local expression of the grape here certainly tends to be plumper and suppler than in Chianti to the east.
100% unoaked Sangiovese with crushed cherry and strawberry notes on the nose. Medium-bodied and full of life, the palate has a lovely core of sweet fruit to balance the very fine tannins and fresh acidity. A brilliant alternative to (and so much better than most) Chianti. Now-2029
