Fattoria Le Pupille - Morellino di Scansano Riserva 2020 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)
This item is available for pre-arrival.
Intense ruby red, sparkling. The smells are those of red fruits, out of which Marasca cherry, typical of Sangiovese, seems to really stand out. The larger wooden barrels allow for a greater evolution in the balsamic notes and spiciness. In the mouth the tannins’ refinement balances the softness, making the wine harmonious and pleasantly persistent . Perfect with fist courses based with elaborated sauces, red meat based second courses or game, as well as with aged cheeses with mustards.

Bright cherries, spice and hints of dried flowers. Also rose stem. Medium-bodied with firm and lightly chewy tannins. Bright. Needs time to soften.

The 2020 Morellino di Scansano Riserva is another compelling wine from Elisabetta Geppetti. Dark and explosive, the 2020 has so much to offer. A blast of dark plum, chocolate, licorice, spice, leather and menthol sweeps across the palate. Readers will find a Morellino of uncommon density and nuance. Superb.

he Fattoria le Pupille 2020 Morellino di Scansano Riserva is Sangiovese cut with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It ages in Slavonian oak casks for 15 months. This wine delivers a zippy, especially bright drinking style with cherry, violets and menthol notes at the back. Those precise aromas, plus the wine's elegant mid-weight texture make this a terrific food option.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
The nose leans sweet, with vanilla, cherries, strawberries and a touch of blood orange, but undertones of spices and earth emerge with time. Cherries also star on the palate, before buoyant acid lifts a latent heat into an astringent finish, where the nose's blood orange note blossoms.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
This rich red is full of plum, cherry, iron, vanilla and oak spice flavors. The tannins are firm, leaving a light cherry pit bitterness on the persistent finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
