Morellino di Scansano Mentore Mantellassi 2023

Almost all Sangiovese, sourced directly from Magliano in Toscana (GR), an amazing area in Tuscany. It’s aged in steel tanks to preserve all its typicality and authenticity. Beautiful clear ruby red. Right away, red berries jump out, blackberries and cherries stealing the show. Round, with just the right touch of tannin. It’s got structure, the alcohol shows up just enough and everything flows straight, perfectly balanced. And on the finish, that same fresh red fruit aroma comes back to mind. Contains sulphites. Produced by FATTORIA MANTELLASSI di Aleardo & Giuseppe Mantellassi - Località Banditaccia - 58051, Magliano in Toscana (GR) - Italy.

The producer

"Labor omnia vincit", this motto confirms its validity in the persistence and dedication of the work on behalf of the owners of the Fattoria Mantellassi in Magliano, Tuscany. The Mantellassi originated from Pistoia and moved to Scansano and Magliano in 1860 where they began the tradition of "potini" and "innestini". They have always been in the wine business and in 1960 they began the first plants for the first four hectares of vineyards in Banditaccia until they reached 50 hectares. Aleardo and Giuseppe Mantellassi, who are the owners of the Fattoria run all the departments of the company; the vineyard and the cellars, with the help, collaboration and experience of their father Ezio and of one of the technical staff directed by the oenologist Marco Stefanini. The Morellino di Scansano wine, obtained the Denomination of Controlled Origin, thanks also to the Fattoria which is its main production. It is also one of the most prestigious production companies.
