Tasting Notes

Discover the vibrant essence of the Tuscan Maremma with Tenuta Torciano's Morellino di Scansano "Bacco" from the 2022 harvest. Produced primarily with Sangiovese grapes, meticulously harvested between late September and early October, this DOCG-certified red wine exhibits a brilliant ruby hue with delicate purplish reflections. The bouquet unfolds with rich, fruity notes of cherry and raspberry, while the palate presents a fresh, vivid character. Balanced and full-bodied, it features a soft tannic structure that lingers in a persistent and harmonious finish.

This versatile wine pairs beautifully with red meats, including T-bone steaks, lamb kebabs, and rich Italian classics like ribollita, baked lasagna, and pasta with Bolognese sauce.

Region of Origin

The Morellino di Scansano area is steeped in history, dating back to Etruscan times, with wine quality documented for centuries. Positioned between the Ombrone and Albegna rivers, the region benefits from a unique mesoclimate that enhances grape maturation. The resulting wines are renowned for their elegance and robust flavors, hallmarks of this remarkable terroir.

Grape Varieties

The Morellino di Scansano "Bacco" is crafted primarily from Sangiovese grapes grown in a picturesque 12-hectare vineyard with vines averaging 20 years old. After hand-harvesting in early October, the wine undergoes vinification in steel tanks and matures for 12 months before refinement in the bottle for six more months, resulting in a refined and structured red ideal for short and long-term aging.
