2024 Lohsa - Morellino di Scansano DOCG Terre del Poliziano (750ml)

The 2024 Lohsa Morellino di Scansano DOCG offers immediate drinkability and crisp coastal Italian red character, blending primarily Sangiovese with Canaiolo to capture the bright side of the Maremma terroir.

Fermented in stainless steel and rested for eight months across large oak barrels and steel tanks before a brief bottle pause, this vintage skips prolonged aging to preserve primary fruit integrity. The aromatic profile opens with ripe cherry, red woodland berries, and pomegranate, transitioning into dried thyme, wild Mediterranean herbs, and a faint line of warm limestone minerality. A restrained violet note lifts the structure, while the palate maintains medium weight, smooth tannins, and lively acidity. Because the winemaking intentionally minimizes heavy extraction, the fruit stays garden-fresh rather than concentrated.

Serve this Tuscan red at cool room temperature in a standard 12-to-14 ounce wine glass, filling each pour generously to allow the herbal and floral aromatics to unfold. The bright acid backbone and moderate alcohol make it highly compatible with charred or oven-roasted meats, tomato-sauce preparations, and semi-aged sheep or cow milk cheeses like Pecorino. Treat this bottling as a dinner-table companion rather than a cellar prospect; drink within three to five years of release for peak vibrancy, and store away from direct sunlight.
