Description |
A wine without compromises, just like it happens in the Sellari Franceschini house where wine has been celebrated for generations; to be precise since the distant 1861. The history of Morellino di Scansano is also written in the furrow of their rows and in the red of their glasses; the symbolic wine of Maremma owes much to the figure of Mario Gallori, one of the founding fathers of the Morellino di Scansano DOCG Consortium. A genuine and simple wine; without tricks and without deception! In their bottles we find, as per the regulations, a high percentage of Sangiovese, locally nicknamed "Morello" complemented by Alicante, Cabernet, Merlot, Malvasia. All vines that have resided in the estate for decades. They are wines for connoisseurs and enthusiasts, word-of-mouth wines that tell stories of small and large winemaking legends. Just taste one of their wines to understand what good was done in the beginning.
