Podere 414 Morellino di Scansano 2021

Tuscany, ItalyOwned by Simone Castelli, Podere 414 is a certified organic estate with 13 hectares of vines in western Tuscany, straddling a river near Scansano. From the region's very stony soils, this morellino (sangiovese) is splashed with colorino, ciliegiolo, alicante, and syrah. Each variety is vinified separately before the blend goes into two-year-old barriques for one year, followed by additional bottle age before release. Sultry wild cherry and dark florals are imbued with balsam and scrubby herbs, wrapped by finely sticky tannins that draw this through the stony, lingering finish. Bright acidity makes this imminently drinkable, though it is certainly worth cellaring for the next couple of years.Tasted: 11 September 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
