The 2024 Ghiaccio Forte Morellino di Scansano is a vibrant Tuscan red from the rolling hills of Maremma on Tuscany’s southern coast. Produced predominantly from Sangiovese, known locally as Morellino, the wine benefits from the region’s warm Mediterranean climate and cooling sea breezes, creating a style that is both generous and beautifully fresh. Crafted to highlight fruit purity and regional character, it offers an approachable yet authentic expression of this increasingly acclaimed appellation.
The nose reveals ripe cherry, wild berry and plum alongside notes of violet, dried herbs and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and energetic, combining juicy red fruit with supple tannins and bright acidity. Hints of sour cherry, Mediterranean herbs and earthy savoury notes add complexity, while the finish remains fresh, balanced and effortlessly drinkable. The 2024 vintage showcases the vibrancy and charm that make Morellino di Scansano such an appealing alternative to Chianti.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A deliciously approachable Tuscan red that delivers plenty of character and outstanding value. Fresh, savoury and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with pasta, pizza, grilled meats, tomato-based dishes and aged cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 4–6 years while its vibrant fruit and Mediterranean charm are at their peak.
