Maremma, the coastal area of Southern Tuscany, is revealing its great potential for producing fine wines, and “I Massi” di Mandorlaia makes the case. Morellino wines are thought to be named after the colour of the region’s horses. The Massi di Mandorlaia estate vineyards have a mix of sandy and clayish soils. This combination produces truly remarkable wines. This particular wine has a dark, intense purple colour with a robust, spicy flavour. Complex notes lead to fruity aromas and light acidic notes. Serving temperature: 18-20 ° C
Early theories on the origin of Sangiovese dated the grape to the time of Roman winemaking.
It was even postulated that the grape was first cultivated in Tuscany by the Etruscans from wild Vitis vinifera vines. The literal translation of the grape's name, the "blood of Jove", refers to the Roman god Jupiter. According to legend, the name was coined by monks from the commune of Santarcangelo di Romagna in what is now the province of Rimini in the Emilia-Romagna region of east-central Italy.
