The Morellino di Scansano DOCG by Fattoria Le Pupille shines intensely red with ruby reflections in the glass. The bouquet of this red wine from Maremma delights us with aromas of ripe sour cherries that are replaced by the scent of small-berry fruits. On the palate, this Morellino presents itself with an elegant and slim body, very fresh and sustainable, worn by silky and firm tannins. Long-lasting, smooth reverberation
