Colli dell'Uccellina
RedSangiovese · Merlot
A Morellino di Scansano Riserva DOCG named after the Uccellina hills where the fruit is grown, blending roughly 85% Sangiovese with 15% Merlot. After fermentation, the Sangiovese macerates on the skins for extended contact while the Merlot is placed directly into new French oak barriques; the Sangiovese is then aged in French oak tonneaux for around 12 months. Full-bodied, with notes of incense, spice, toasted oak and dark red fruit.
