Larcile Morellino di Scansano Riserva, Poggio Trevvalle, pure organic red wine

Poggio Trevvalle, Morellino di Scansano Riserva, "Larcile" organic red wine, 2015

This Larcille Morellino di Scansano Riserva is the figurehead of Poggio Trevvalle from Maremma in the southern part of Tuscany. He could almost be a Chianti Riserva, if not another grape variety like the Grenache would be allowed. Morellino is like Chianti wines predominantly from Sangiovese grapes and thus one can call the Morellino di Scansano also as a very good and typical Tuscan organic wine.

This organic wine is named after the village Arcille, which is close to the vineyards.

The wine Larcille is made from Sangiovese grapes with a small percentage of Cabernet and Grenache, all of which are harvested in a vineyard that  was planted in the late Seventies.

The wine is dark purple red with violet hue and almost black center. It has multi-layered fruit fragrances with hints of dark berries, plums and mild spices. On the palate it is well-structured with medium weight and good length.
