Tempo Riserva Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese Blend

Contributed to a great red sauce.

Tart red cherry, dusty with touch of VA and Brett.

A bit fruitier and rounder than a Chianti, with a rich texture and complexity. #terreditalamo #morellino #tuscany #sangiovese

100% Morellimo or should I say Sangiovese. Nice with Pizza tonight

15.5/20 (88/100)

Terre di Talamo, Tempo Riserva 2006, Morellino di Scansano DOC - aroma of earthy dark cherry, dried herbs. Palate of robust dark cherry, forest floor, dried rose petals, thyme, nice tannin. Aged 6 months in Barriques, bottle aged 12 months. Certainly old world, but approachable. Nice complexity for a $15 red.

Saranty Imports.

Great concentration. firmly structured. Leather, smoke, and gamey on the nose. Morello cherry and dried herbs on the palette.

Splendid earthy aroma, bit dried herbals, tarragon and sage on the nose. Juicy and delicious acidity on the mid-range palate.
Goes wonderfully with red sauce pasta and obviously pizza. A solid crowd pleaser!

Not as good as some other vintages but still really nice... One of my favorite lesser known DOCGs
