Morellino di ScansanoGhiaccio Forte 2006
Tasting:
In the glass, it presents itself with a rich garnet colour and violet hues. Earthy notes mix with rich dark fruits, full ripe tannins and a roundness of fruits that is gently interrupted by cigar box tones. Dusty tannins and a robust long finish.

Rosso di Montalcino 2006
Tasting:
It possesses a deep ruby red color, and a soft richness that balances its fresh bouquet. Fruit-forward aromas reminiscent of red berries, tobacco, and crushed violets. The wine stands out for its elegance and finesse. The structure is lavishly balanced with a mouth-watering viscosity and persistent finish.

Blend: 100% Sangiovese Grosso

Inspired by the Bordeaux Tradition, Carlo Ferrini’s greatest achievements are red wines that are lush and fruit-driven, thanks to the careful attention he dedicates to grape quality. They are modern with excellent extraction, yet they remain expressions of a specific territory. He believes in making wines that taste great when they are young, but also show an important potential for aging. He once said that he could imagine working in the vineyard without the winery, but never in the winery without a vineyard..
