“Morellino del Cuore” Returns for Its Second Edition

 

After the success of its first edition, “Morellino del Cuore” returns, a project that brings together the Consorzio di Tutela Morellino di Scansano DOCG with wine journalists and experts Roberta Perna and Antonio Stelli. The initiative aims to further promote one of Tuscany’s most iconic wine denominations.

Last year, six wine experts selected the 10 “Morellino del Cuore.” This time, six well-known sommeliers from Italian restaurants were tasked with blind-tasting 59 samples. Their job was to select the labels that best represent the territory and essence of Morellino di Scansano, with Sangiovese as its undisputed protagonist.

The selection took place at the Consorzio’s headquarters in Scansano, where the sommeliers – Davide Macaluso (Principe di Piemonte, Viareggio), Walter Meccia (Four Seasons, Florence), Andrea Menichetti (Da Caino, Montemerano), Jessica Rocchi (Andrea Aprea, Milan), Pascal Tinari (Villa Maiella, Parco della Maiella), and Matteo Zappile (Il Pagliaccio, Rome) – chose the 10 “Morellino del Cuore” 2024, divided into three categories: Annata, Intermedio, and Riserva.
