This \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e displays a vibrant garnet colour with subtle ruby highlights. On the nose, it opens with intense notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry and plum\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched by earthy hints and vegetal nuances. On the palate, it is structured, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-balanced tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e that combines with pronounced freshness, finishing with a long aftertaste where deep echoes of wild berries linger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards of the Grillesino estate are rooted in the area of Magliano in Toscana, at the heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eMorellino di Scansano\u003c\/strong\u003e zone. The vines grow at an ideal hillside altitude, with a south-eastern exposure that ensures full ripening of the grapes. The composition of the \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in stones, imparts savouriness and a decisive character. Trained using the spur cordon method, these soils encourage a limited yield, allowing the wine to develop a solid \u003cstrong\u003etaste structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfect for supporting excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by destemming and gentle pressing. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks, where a slow maceration with pump-overs gently extracts colour and structure. After malolactic fermentation, essential for softening the palate, the wine undergoes \u003cstrong\u003esix months of maturation in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, aimed at preserving its vibrant fruity freshness. Bottled after light filtration, it benefits from \u003cstrong\u003eabout an hour of decanting\u003c\/strong\u003e to best express its inviting character, making it ideal for pairing with flavourful meats or game.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1999, the Grillesino winery has captured the authentic soul of the Maremma with this excellent \u003cstrong\u003eMorellino di Scansano DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e.
