Our tasting note
*** Delivery from March *** Clear, deep ruby red with subtle violet highlights. On the nose, ripe black cherries and dark berries are complemented by notes of Mediterranean herbs, dried flowers, liquorice, dark chocolate, and a hint of orange zest and cedarwood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet fresh, offering juicy dark fruit, a creamy, spicy texture and present but ripe, finely grained tannins; lively acidity provides tension and balance. The finish is long, spicy and lightly balsamic.
Podere 414
The Maremma region is situated on the coast in the southwest of Tuscany. The wines of this region have been highly regarded for a very long time. Simone Castelli is one of the leading winemakers of the Maremma region. Together with his wife Mara, he runs a very successful vineyard which previously belonged to his famous father, Maurizio, who turned his dream into a reality by establishing his own estate on around 30 hectares of arable land. Nowadays, this land is cultivated according to biodynamic principles. It is possible to spot the glowing red building of Podere 414 from a great distance.This is where Simone Castelli cultivates a small, old vineyard covering a total of 11 hectares representing local varieties such as Alicante, Ciliegiolo, Colorino and Syrah in addition to Sangiovese. These grape varieties are used to produce his most important wine, Morellino di Scansano DOCG, which, just like the vineyard itself, bears the cadastral number 414 which was granted to the vineyard during the land reform of the 1960s.
