Morellino di Scansano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morellino di Scansano DOC is an Italian red wine made in the hilly environs of the village of Scansano (GR), not far from the Maremma coast in southern Tuscany. Morellino is a local strain of (or simply a local name for) the Sangiovese grape varietal.
The wine, which was granted DOC status in 1978, is made from at least 85% Sangiovese (which is also the basis of Chianti). The remaining 0–15% is made up of varieties which are officially recommended or authorised to be grown in the province of Grosseto such as Ciliegiolo, Alicante, and Colorino.
