AWARD :95 PINTS, I MIGLIORI VINI ITALIANI - LUCA MARONI
The Morellino name is a diminutive form of morello, and so translates as "little dark one". This etymology is almost identical to another of Sangiovese's many synonyms, Brunello. A few sources suggest that morello refers to a breed of horse unique to this part of Tuscany. Scansano's viticultural origins date back to Etruscan times, and the quality of the local wines has been documented for centuries.

EVERYTHING FLOWSThe Greeks knew it as kinesis: the never-ending flow of the world, the ever-becoming of all things. Light and wind, dancing together with the waters, impress themselves upon the earth that bears the vine that yields the cluster, which in turn is transformed into wine, which gifts us pleasure and beauty. In an instant, chaos returns to pure harmony … is this what we call happiness?
VINTAGESummer 2015 was characterized by higher than average temperatures and lack of rainfalls. The weather situation induce us to an early harvest epoch thoughts. The heat, however, did slow the grapes development therefore we had an average harvest’s epoch which began on September 1 and ended on October 27. We immediately recognize the potential of an absolutely promising vintage when we saw the grapes quality brought to the cellar. The whites wines show enveloping and caressing fruit features
