Flavor Profile
Scarànto is our most exciting Tuscan red in years. It hails from special vineyards in the Conca d’Oro (golden conch)—a hallowed, shell-shaped slope in the heart of Chianti’s famed Panzano district. Equally thrilling, those vineyards are right next door to Fontodi, whose flagship red costs over $100 a bottle.
Scarànto is the first solo project from the hugely talented Matteo Bernabei. He works alongside his legendary father Franco—dubbed “Mr. Sangiovese” by the Italian press—as a consultant to some of Italy’s top estates (like the aforementioned Fontodi). The previous vintage of Scarànto received a perfect 100-point score from Italian critic Cosimo Dell’Anna, and we can’t wait to see the acclaim this new release racks up.
For this hugely acclaimed, barrel-aged Super Tuscan-blend of Sangiovese (70%) and Merlot (30%), Matteo used the traditional governo method. After hand harvesting the fruit in September, he held back a small amount of Sangiovese grapes, air drying them until December. Called leggermente appassito, these raisined grapes are added to the wine for a flavor-boosting secondary fermentation that brings extra richness and concentration.
