Fattoria Mantellassi San Guiseppe Morellino di Scansano DOCG 2021, 0,75 L

San Giuseppe is often viewed as the younger sibling of the esteemed Le Sentinelle Morellino di Scansano Riserva, but that's hardly an understatement given its consistently impressive ratings.

Offering exceptional value, this wine truly shines when given ample room to breathe—a large glass or decanting for 1-2 hours greatly enhances the experience, allowing the Sangiovese flavours to fully unfold.

Richly ripe, it bursts with red fruits, hints of berries, and sour cherries, complemented by subtle roasted notes that leave a lasting impression. Intriguing herbal undertones, with a touch of mint, add complexity. Aged for several months in barrique barrels, the wine gains structure while preserving the natural vibrancy of Sangiovese, along with nuances from Cabernet Sauvignon and Ciliegiolo. It's incredibly approachable and enjoyable from the first sip, even in its youth, yet can also gracefully mature over the years—if you choose to cellar it.

San Giuseppe is a testament to the craftsmanship of Morellino di Scansano, offering immediate pleasure and the potential for deeper exploration with age.
