'Roggiano Riserva' Morellino di Scansano DOCG Cantina Vignaioli del Morellino 2020

Morellino di Scansano Docg Roggiano Riserva is a red that has received several awards, including that of the prestigious Bibenda Guide. This wine is offered by the Cantina Vignaioli del Morellino di Scansano, a Tuscan wine cooperative, which has embraced the organic cultivation method and which well interprets the reference territory. This prestigious label comes from a blend of Sangiovese (95%) and Merlot (5%) grapes, the fruit of vineyards grown at 250 meters above sea level, on sandy-loamy soils, whose vines are older than 25 years old. After a harvest carried out in the first week of October, which selects only and exclusively the grapes from the most suitable vineyards, the collected bunches are transported to the cellar. Therefore, they first undergo the maceration process, then the fermentation process. Subsequently, the Morellino di Scansano Docg Roggiano Riserva ages in French oak barriques for a year, after which it is bottled. However, before being marketed, it is still aged for 10 months in glass. The finished product is a label with good longevity. An elegant and perfectly balanced red, for a rightly tannic wine with a warm sip, which emerges for its excellent persistence.
