Morellino di Scansano DOCG Le Pupille

Morellino di Scansano DOCG Le Pupille is a wine produced by the Le Pupille farm in Tuscany. The vineyards in which Sangiovese, Alicante and Malvasia Nera grapes are grown are extremely suitable for viticulture and are between an altitude of 250m and 550m above sea level. The composition of these soils is disparate, some vineyards have argilo-ferrous characteristics while others have a more important skeleton. The grapes are harvested separately around the end of September for Sangiovese and early October for Malvasia Nera and Alicante, harvested by hand and brought to the winery for alcoholic fermentation with maceration. This process takes place in stainless steel vats at a temperature of 24 ° C for a variable duration depending on the ripening conditions of the grapes in the various years. The refinement of Morellino di Scansano DOCG Le Pupille takes place for the great majority in steel for 8 months while for a small part in barriques of second passage.
