Poggio Morino Tenuta is in Scansano, Maremma/Super Tuscan territory. The diurnal shift between Maremma’s long, hot days and marine-influenced nights allow for great ripening while preserving acidity, certainly seen in this Vermentino. Ripe and expansive, with green fig, honeysuckle, lemon thistle, flake salts, a bed of lees and a thorny Mediterranean scrub note on the warming finish. Ferment and aging in stainless preserves the piercing lemon-pith acidity. This is well suited for flavourful and meaty seafood like scallops or sea bass.
