2022 Campo Maccione - Morellino di Scansano DOCG (750ml)
Blending hand-harvested Sangiovese with a measured addition of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Campo Maccione Morellino di Scansano DOCG delivers a vibrant, food-ready red that minimizes barrel contact to preserve the vintage’s native brightness.
Grown at approximately 130 meters elevation on north-facing slopes composed of sandy sandstone, the vines yield grapes picked at peak ripeness. Production follows a clean, controlled regimen: fermentation occurs in temperature-managed stainless steel, followed by a quiet maturation period resting in a mix of steel and cement tanks. This vessel choice intentionally avoids long wood aging, keeping the tannins supple and the fruit forward from day one.
The wine presents a brilliant ruby red hue with an aromatic profile built around wild berries, ripe cherry, and delicate floral spice. On the palate, it offers a generous structure anchored by crisp acidity and a smooth, silky texture. The finish remains clean and approachable, reflecting the coastal influence of its Maremma terroir.
This straightforward yet structured red pairs naturally with Mediterranean staples and heartier proteins. Serve it alongside tomato-based pasta dishes, thin-crust pizza, or herb-roasted lamb and beef to balance the wine’s bright fruit and vibrant finish.
