Tasting notes: the perfect representation of Sangiovese from the Maremma, here blended with other complementary grapes.
The vines enjoy the best climatic conditions, steady breezes balanced with an almost continuous exposure to the sun.
The excellent level of grape maturity and the modest yield per hectare ensure elegant and well structured wines.
Vinification begins with cold pre-fermentation maceration and is thenfollowed by a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. This is followed by a few months aging in French oak barrels and subsequent bottle
refinement. Val delle Rose Morellino di Scansano has a bright red color with violet hues.
The aroma is fruity, with intense notes of wild cherry that are typical of this varietal. They add a richness and pleasant sharpness.
On the palate, it is smooth and full flavored with ample body and supple tannins.
