Wine Description:

Rich ruby red, with lively purple highlights. The bouquet is full of character and pleasantness and depth with fruity, floral and spicy notes mixed with hints of underwood. The pleasantness on the palate is completed by persistence and balance: the tannins are well defined but elegant, subtle and balanced, together with the freshness, by a fruity roundness.

The Morellino di Scansano of Tenuta Torciano di Poggiomoreto meets the tradition of a family that has been working in wine for 300 years with love, dedication and authority with Italian culture. This wine was born in the territory of the Tuscan Maremma, in the vineyards and in the cellar of Scansano.

Wine Cellar:

Tenuta Torciano Winery is situated in the heart of Tuscany, 35 minutes from Florence and 20 minutes from Siena, surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and a succession of unique greenery that features towering cypress trees, long stretches of beautiful vineyards, olive groves, forests of oaks and lovely villages.

When you visit Tenuta Torciano Winery, you will totally immerse yourself in Italian culture, together with a Tuscan family consisting of 13 generations of wine producers. Here you will experience warm hospitality and additional Tuscan traditions handed down from father to son.

Area of Production:

Scansano's viticultural origins date back to Etruscan times, and the quality of the local wines has been documented for centuries. This quality is largely due to Scansano's particular mesoclimate, itself created by a combination of factors.

The official viticultural zone covers a roughly square area about 25 kilometers (15 miles) across, topped and tailed by two rivers, the Ombrone in the north and the Albegna in the south. Scansano village itself lies towards the north of this area, just a few miles away from the Ombrone.

Grapes:

The Sangiovese grapes are born in the beautiful 12-hectare vineyard, with 20-year-old vines and others that are younger. The harvest begins in October and the vinification is done in steel tanks with maturation for a period of 12 months.

The refinement of the wine in the bottle continues for six months. This is an elegant and well-structured red, capable of satisfying the palate both in the short and long term.
