Morellino di Scansano DOCG 'Red Label' Fattoria dei Barbi 2020

The Morellino di Scansano DOCG Red Label is an intense and full-bodied wine from the Fattoria dei Barbi company, one of the most popular wineries in Tuscany. To create this label, the winery mainly uses grapes of the native Sangiovese vine, adding a percentage equal to 15% of Merlot grapes. Both varieties are grown on pebbly soils, the substrate of which is distinguished by the high presence of clay. At 250 meters above sea level, the vineyards benefit from optimal exposure. At the end of the work between the rows, the grapes are selected and transported to the cellar, where the bunches are pressed and subjected to spontaneous fermentation for just under two weeks. For the refinement, the company chooses to let the wine rest for 6 months, partly in steel and partly in oak vats. Morellino di Scansano DOCG Red Label is ideal to drink immediately, even if it can evolve for another 3-4 years, if stored carefully.
