Morellino di Scansano SICOMORO RISERVA DOCG Vignaioli del Morellino di Scansano

This Riserva red wine from Cantina Vignaioli Scansano is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown in vineyards that are over 30 years old. The grapes are harvested at perfect phenolic ripeness during the first week of October. They are then macerated at 35°C for 12 hours, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration on the skins for 12 days. The long ageing phase takes place in 225-litre French oak barriques for 15 months, followed by a short period in steel. Final refinement in the bottle for another 18 months.

Characteristics of this Tuscan wine

With a concentrated ruby red colour, it impresses with its aromatic notes of spices, morello cherry, cinnamon and wild berries. Dry but full on the palate, with elegant but decisive tannins. Long finish, pleasantly fruity.

Recommended pairings with this Riserva red wine

A wine with great structure, best drunk 5-10 years after harvest. Try it with braised meats, roasts and particularly flavourful dishes based on cheese and meat. Serve at a temperature of 18°C.
