Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte Morellino di Scansano 2024 from the coastal hills of southern Tuscany is a pure, seaside‑influenced Sangiovese that feels bright, saline and energetic – a beautiful contrast to heavier inland styles. This Ghiaccio Forte Morellino di Scansano DOCG 2024 comes from marine clays and fluvial soils between Monte Amiata and the Tyrrhenian Sea, vinified by parcel and gently fermented in stainless steel to showcase fruit purity and a trademark salty edge.

In the glass, expect a light, bright ruby colour with lifted aromas of sour cherry, raspberry and redcurrant, threaded with black cherry, plum, dried herbs, tobacco and a hint of cinchona bark and earth. The palate is light to medium‑bodied, frisky and juicy, with tart cherry bite, crunchy red fruits, subtle dark‑berry depth and savoury undertones, wrapped in fresh acidity and fine, mild tannins that give Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte Morellino di Scansano 2024 a long, graceful, slightly salty finish. It’s a vibrant, coastal Sangiovese that’s both characterful and highly drinkable.

Food‑wise, Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte Morellino di Scansano 2024 is spot on with tomato‑based pasta, wood‑fired pizza, grilled sausages or roast chicken, where its sour‑cherry snap and herbal notes cut through richness and tomato sweetness. It’s also excellent with Tuscan bean stews, cured meats or medium‑hard cheeses, making it a versatile, modern Morellino that works from midweek pasta nights to longer, more leisurely lunches.
