Bellamarsilia, Morellino di Scansano (Tuscany, Italy) 2009

Mar 27, 2011

By Paul Lukacs

 A blend of Sangiovese (85%), Cilegiolo (10%), and Alicante (5%), this is an impressive Tuscan “rosso,” with both dried and fresh red fruit flavors and an intriguing dry, leathery note that gains force in the finish.  Morellino di Scansano tends to be undervalued appellation or DOC, and this wine offers excellent value.
