This is a first rate wine with a deep, luminous ruby color and fine aromas of cherry, licorice, granite slate and pencil lead. The 85-15 Sangiovese-Syrah blend exhibits fabulous intensity, good complexity and loads of firm structure and persistent in the mouth: This is as good as Morellino gets.

Here’s a slightly sweet, oak fermented 70-30 Vermentino-Viognier blend with a deep golden color and abundant notes of yellow fruit, vanilla, pine nut, mineral and some distant grassy shadings. It boasts surprising complexity and thick consistency: Just watch the glycerin move slowly down the sides of your glass. Not imported to the U.S.

Definitely on the young and lush side, this Morellino is redolent of fresh raspberry, blueberry with a dab of toasted nut thanks to a brief two-month passage in oak. It proves an easy drink with more berry flavors and a fresh, firm mouthfeel.
