Podere 414 - Morellino di Scansano 2014
Pairing Suggestions
think it’s better to leave the wine in the cellar for 2/3 years so it will be even better. For me this young one has a bit to high acidity. I tasted the 2012 which tasted better.
Grape Harvest dates: start 17 September 2014, end 16 October 2014 (100% hand harvested).
Vineyard (extension): 22 hectares of vineyard under organic management (IT BIO 006 OP.B1105). All of the vines are planted at high density (about 6500 vines/hectare) and the prevailing training method is the double guyot, the Alicante B. variety is managed at head pruned (Goblet).

Number of bottles produced: 114.000 bottles.
Analytic data: alcohol 13,50 % vol, total acidity 5,40 g/l; net extract 29,00 g/l; sugar 0,4 g/l.
Organoleptic analysis: the colour is intense ruby red. The bouquet is characterized by key notes of ripe fruit which blend with secondary spicy notes complemented by a woody note. On the mouth it delivers body, roundness and freshness, derived from the quality of the tannins and the sustained
acidity. Our aim is the creation of a wine which distinguisches itself, thanks to its peculiarities of harmony and refinement, rendering any meal more pleasant end flowing without overbearing. This year vintage fully lives up to the previous once in standards of both quality and regional reputation.
