Morellino

 

This Morellino opens on the nose with notes of small red and black berries interspersed with notes of cherry and pomegranate as well as aromas of fresh violet and black pepper. On the palate, it is soft and full-bodied with lively but well integrated tannins and a pleasant freshness; it shows off an agile but not trivial drink, which can well accompany dishes such as the classic Tuscan steak or the pici with white ragù as well as pappardelle with hare ragù.
