The 2010 Morellino di Scansano Riserva shows a full package of shapely aromas. You get it all here: Thick fruit extraction, dried cherry, blackberry, spice and toasted nut. The finish is soft and enduring with smooth, yielding structure. Drink it now or wait a few more years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. There is always a single face that identifies a region: A sole producer with the charisma and communicative talents required to perform the ambassadorial duties that bring a relatively obscure wine area to the world stage. For the Maremma, that person is Elisabetta Geppetti. Her newest releases confirm the extreme quality that distinguishes Fattoria Le Pupille. Importer: Winebow Inc.; www.winebow.com
