The 2008 Morellino di Scansano is one of the highlights among new releases from Tuscany. In this vintage the Morellino is initially a touch linear, but then it bursts onto the palate with juicy perfumed berries, flowers, spices and leather. Clean, minerally notes frame the elegant finish. Fragrant and beautifully delineated throughout, the Morellino delivers tons of pleasure. Best of all, it remains one of Italy’s finest values. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.
