Vintage Report

According to the Robert Parker Vintage Chart, the 2019 vintage in Tuscany achieved excellent scores of up to 95 points. The wines are of exceptional quality but may still be a bit youthful and tannic.

The Riserva represents the roots of Fattoria Le Pupille and was the first wine to leave the winery in 1982, originating from the 1978 harvest, the year the Morellino di Scansano DOC was created. The oldest vineyards average thirty years old, with the younger ones dating back to 2002. They are located at an altitude of 50 to 250 meters above sea level. The Fattoria Le Pupille winery is considered a true pioneer in southern Tuscany. Upon hearing its name, red wines are immediately brought to mind. Sangiovese, known as the king of this estate, occupies a whopping seventy percent of the vineyards. Today, the winery owns 75 hectares of vineyards spread across the beautiful Maremma landscape. The soils vary from clay and iron-rich to gravelly.

15 months of wood aging for this Scansano Riserva

The Morellino Riserva is made from 85 percent Sangiovese and 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvesting takes place by hand in late September for the Sangiovese and in the first half of October for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Only the finest grapes are used. Maceration on the skins for twenty days is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation and complete malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. The subsequent aging takes place for fifteen months in large oak barrels of 10, 20, and 40 hectoliters.

A beautiful balance and firm tannins

The Morellino di Scansano Riserva appears in the glass with a deep, dark garnet color. The bouquet offers a seductive aroma of red fruit, accompanied by delicate balsamic aromas and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, this Morellino Riserva from Elisabetta Gepetti is highly concentrated with a full, round body, beautifully balanced by firm and persistent tannins. The long, lingering finish concludes with classic fruity and spicy nuances. This noble red wine from the southern Maremma region is best enjoyed as an excellent accompaniment to pasta dishes with flavorful, complex sauces, main courses featuring red meat or game, and to mature cheeses with fruity mustard.
