Description
Morellino is the name for Sangiovese in the Maremma area of coastal Tuscany. Morellino di Scanzano is the best-known Sangiovese-based denomination in this maritime-influenced region, producing a wine that is similar to Chianti and Vino Nobile in its blend, but grown under markedly different conditions. Poliziano began its Lohsa project in the Maremma with this wine in 1998, essentially extending its Sangiovese production expertise to a new stage. Poliziano’s Morellino di Scanzano is primarily Sangiovese, combined with one of its close relatives, the ancient Ciliegiolo.
