Product Detail
Spineto Morellino
Grapes selection: 85% – 90 % Sangiovese, the rest of grapes depend from the vintage; Normally we used Merlot, or Ciliegiolo,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante ( better known as Grenache in France or Garnaca in Spain.
Harvest starts in mid September with the merlot, then with the Alicante and two weeks later with Cabernet Sauvignon and
Sangiovese.All grape varietals are fermented separately and process has been made at controlled temperature of 70° F. over the skins for approx. 15 days, for the best possible extraction of polyphenols. After three months wine varietals are assembled and aged in stainless steel tanks. The Morellino is bottled not before one year from the harvest.
Historical notes
The Morellino di Scansano has reach his first DOC appellation in the 1978, and then with the first Gambero Rosso three glasses by the Erik Banti’s Ciabatta, became one of the most successful Tuscan wine terroirs with amazing investments made in this part of southern west Tuscany close by the Tyrrhenian sea made by the most important Italian winemakers.
From 2007 vintage the Morellino became a DOCG appellation.
