Description and technical sheet
Santa Maria Morellino di Scansano DOCG 2024 expresses the character of the Tuscan Maremma through freshness, bright fruit and a harmonious texture. Frescobaldi makes it at Tenuta Ammiraglia, amid hills close to the Tyrrhenian coast. First produced in 2000, Santa Maria was conceived as a lively, approachable expression of its appellation, combining softness with an appealing tannic backbone.
The Maremma, the grapes and the 2024 vintage
The blend brings together Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Morellino di Scansano DOCG area of Tuscany. Tenuta Ammiraglia is set among sunny, gently rolling hills influenced by sea breezes from the nearby coast. The 2024 growing season began with a mild winter and widespread rain through early spring, followed by a hot, dry summer. Rain returned in mid-August, while regular differences between daytime and night-time temperatures supported ripening and helped retain freshness in the grapes.
Maturation and tasting notes
The wine matures for 12 months in stainless steel. It is bright ruby red in colour, with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and cherry, followed by dog rose, laurel-like herbal notes and a touch of sweet spice. The palate is vibrant and fresh, supported by an appealing tannic texture and a warm, rounded feel. The finish is harmonious and persistent. Alcohol content: 13% ABV.
Food pairing and serving
An excellent match for braised or slow-cooked meats, particularly rabbit and chicken, as well as medium-aged cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C to bring out its balance of ripe fruit and freshness. A versatile Tuscan red for shared meals and relaxed occasions.
