2023 Poggio Maestrino Spiaggiole Morellino Di Scansano

This Morellino di Scansano from Poggio Maestrino is a wine with excellent complexity, structure and elegance. It has an intense, bright red color and a rich aroma of small red fruit and herbs. In the nose a lot of sweet cherry fruit and herbs such as laurel. Very fruity and juicy in the mouth with nicely ripe and not too heavy tannins and beautiful acids, which dominate in the long finish. The wine is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes that were selected from the best exposed areas where the production quantity has been reduced to obtain the most perfect concentrations. The Morellino has enveloping, complex and persistent aromas that emphasize the ripe (Marasca) cherries and has a pleasant finish with spicy and balsamic notes. The bottle aging gives it an exquisite elegance and soft taste.

Poggio Maestrino is located in the Morellino di Scansano DOCG appellation. The soil there is medium in texture and has a volcanic origin. The vines have an average age of about 10 years and the vineyard covers about 13.5 hectares and is located 150 m above sea level. The grapes are harvested in the second half of October followed by maceration at a temperature of about 28°C for 10/12 days. Malolactic fermentation in steel vats, maturation for at least 1 year in tonneaux, then at least 6 months in steel and 1 year in bottle. About 8,000 bottles of this wine are made per year.

Poggio Maestrino Winery is part of Rocca di Castagnoli, owned by Calogero Calì. He has owned Rocca di Castagnoli since 1981 and has since acquired four other wineries, including Poggio Maestrino. He employs an impressive team of winemakers and grape growers, led by Daniele Pagni, to get the wines from all the companies the way he wants them. The end result is never a megalomaniac and expensive blockbuster, but rather a digestible and elegant wine for a decent price.
