    Castello di Montepò Morellino di Scansano (Red) 2020 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Semi-translucent to semi-opaque with subtle garnet hues. Somewhat restrained on the nose, with some fresh cherry fruit that evolves to pretty herbal and menthol eucalyptus notes. The tannins are buzzy and vibrant, with a chalky weight and no lack of extraction. A bit more one-dimensional and rugged while still maintaining beautifully expressive and vibrant fruit. Modern and exciting while still clearly a Tuscan Sangiovese.
