The name of this very pleasant red wine proposed by Fattoria Mantellassi recalls that of the most famous wind blowing over the Mediterranean from the west. A fresh wind that is much appreciated by sailors, but above all by those who work in the fields all day. Fattoria Mantellassi has chosen it for its red wine made from pure Ciliegiolo grapes. Grapes often used in the Chianti area to refine the rustic Sangiovese, in the Maremma it is becoming more and more common, often being proposed in purity. Both in red, as in this case, and in rosé. As the name suggests, this grape is prized above all for its ability to produce wines with a pleasantly fruity character, with clear and recognisable notes of cherry. The taste is also smooth and recalls the sensations perceived above. Fresh and pleasant, this red wine "made in Maremma" also offers good body and is suitable for pairing with any traditional Tuscan dish. Like the "ciccia", of course, but also with good first courses and even the "very Tuscan" pappa al pomodoro or ribollita, for vegetable lovers.
Fattoria Mantellassi: Ambassadors of Morellino. What more can be said? Fattoria Mantellassi," reads the company's website, "made a decisive contribution to the establishment of the Denominazione di Origine Controllata of Morellino di Scansano in 1978 and is considered one of the most prestigious producers. Coming from Pistoia, the Mantellassi family moved to the area of Scansano and Magliano around 1860 to work as "potini" and "grafters". The planting of the first vineyards took place a century later, in 1960, when the first four hectares were created in Banditaccia. Today, the Fattoria can count on about one hundred hectares of vineyards extending over some of the many hills of the Fattoria. Here Sangiovese is the absolute protagonist. And with it varieties such as Alicante, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia Nera, Ciliegiolo, and the "white" Vermentino and Sauvignon. The Mantellassi Winery, on the other hand, is located in a strategic position, a few kilometres from Magliano in Toscana and close to each of the vineyards. This makes it possible, during the harvest period, to optimise work and have the grapes in the cellar very quickly, preserving all their best characteristics.
