2021 Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG, Fattoria Le Pupille

The 2021 Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG is a striking expression of Fattoria Le Pupille’s heritage and the untamed beauty of Tuscany’s Maremma region. As the first wine ever produced by the estate, this Riserva continues to embody the soul of its origins, anchored in ripe Sangiovese and the wild, sun-drenched landscapes that define its terroir.

The nose opens with a deep and complex bouquet: ripe forest berries, blood orange, and maraschino cherry rise from the glass, woven together with nuances of aromatic Mediterranean herbs. Subtle yet evocative notes of liquorice, black pepper, and a touch of dark chocolate add layers of intrigue and sensuality.

On the palate, this Riserva is bold and expressive, yet remarkably poised. A structured, fleshy core is balanced by silky tannins and a vibrant line of fresh acidity, delivering power and elegance in equal measure. The finish is long and resonant, leaving a lingering impression of rhubarb and myrtle, a nod to the rugged flora of its native landscape.

A wine of depth, intensity, and undeniable charm, the 2021 Riserva is both a tribute to tradition and a showcase of refined craftsmanship—perfect for savouring now or cellaring for added complexity.
