Vinification of the Tenuta Ammiraglia Santa Maria Morellino di Scansano by Frescobaldi

The grapes for the Tenuta Ammiraglia Santa Maria Morellino di Scansano come from old vines thriving in the sun-kissed vineyards of Tuscany. Here, ideally ripened Sangiovese grapes are used alongside a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. These grapes benefit from a specific microclimate that offers both high daytime temperatures and cool nights. The careful harvest is carried out by hand to ensure the best quality of the grapes.

After harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed and lightly pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the fruit aromas. After fermentation, the wine matures for about 12 months in French oak barrels, adding additional complexity and depth. Through this vinification technique, the premium aromas develop, and the wine showcases perfect balance.
