Today it is one of the better wineries of the Maremma. The cellar is less than a kilometer from the historic settlement. The special winery is in the hands of Filippo Chia, who is also the owner and winemaker of the renowned Montalcino house Castello Romitorio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe domain is located on the Tuscan coast, just south of Grosseto. Filippo owns about twenty hectares of vineyards, twelve of which are in Morellino di Scansano. The proximity of the Mediterranean Sea provides cooling in the quite warm region, and therefore for beautiful freshness in the grapes, which can ripen perfectly here. Since 2020, the vineyards have been farmed organically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough 15% other grapes are allowed, Filippo makes his Morellino (since 2018) from 100% sangiovese. The grapes are harvested by hand and thoroughly selected and destemmed upon arrival in the cellar. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Wood aging does not get this pure sangiovese expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a powerful, rich but at the same time supple red wine, Tuscan sangiovese in its entirety. Ripe red cherry fruit, savory spiciness, juicy freshness and a medium body. A delicious wine with rustic Tuscan cuisine, such as pasta or polenta with wild boar ragout. Incidentally, they also store well, up to about five years after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ghiaccio Forte","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":40700094218349,"sku":"WWEGHIACCIO1","price":43.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":41435219394669,"sku":"WWEGHIACCIO1-12","price":518.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/2021-Ghiaccio-Forte-Morellino-di-Scansano_543x_332b27ba-1f3c-42cb-81c3-df388530144d.jpg?v=1691425225","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/ghiaccio-forte-ghiaccio-forte-morellino-di-scansano","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
