Curiosity
The local designation of Morellino dates back to the Middle Ages. According to the etymology the name of Morellino derives either from the horses Morello, which towed the carriages or from the darf coloured berries that are called moro. The uniqueness of the Sangiovese of Scansano grapes is that they had no contact with other vines for over 150 years. There was only once an encounter with the Alicante back in the 1700.
Food pairing
Ideal match for local dishes of the Maremma, wild boar and venison meat. It also goes perfectly with Pecorino Toscano DOP.
