Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Grapes: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese
Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
The Maremma Toscana DOC covers the coastal strip of southern Tuscany, and its reds must be at least forty per cent Sangiovese, with international varieties commonly making up the balance. The character sits between Tuscan structure and coastal generosity: the warmth and maritime air give riper fruit and softer tannins than the inland hills, while Sangiovese keeps the acid line and savoury edge. Morisfarms is a family estate near Massa Marittima, farming here since the 1960s and among the producers who established the zone's reputation. Expect black cherry and plum with dried herbs, leather and a Mediterranean savouriness over firm but approachable tannins. The precise blend varies; the record does not state it and I have not assumed one.
