2006 La Mozza I Perazzi Morellino di Scansano

SKU #1038572

La Mozza's owner's (Über-Chef Mario Batali and Restaurant Wündkerkind Joe Bastianich) have really scored with their 2006 La Mozza I Perazzi Morellino (sangiovese) di Scansano! This coastal Tuscan area is really making great wine at exceptional prices. Their 2006 Morellino has luscious fruit densities coupled with vibrantly focused aromatics and all wrapped up in a long, memorable finish. Great for grilled meats, pasta, roasted chickens or just good old drinking! Wow I love this wine! (Greg St.Clair K&L Wine Merchants) 90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2006 Morellino di Scansano I Perazzi is an especially sexy, juicy Morellino loaded with fruit, underbrush, smoke and licorice nuances that emerge from its generous, plump frame. It should drink beautifully over the next few years. Best of all, it is an outstanding value. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011."

This wine really suprised me because I had no idea it was Sangiovese nor that it hailed from Tuscany. Softer and juicier than Chianti or Brunello, with some savory textures on the back end. Very good wine with a friendly price tag that beats the heck out of a cheap, straw-basket-covered supermarket Chianti.

Drinking the '06 now. Have bought several bottle over the last couple of years after first tasting at Pizza Mozza. Each bottle has been consistently good. Sangiovese at its drinkable best.

- Once named Enotria for its abundant vineyards, Italy (thanks to the ancient Greeks and Romans) has had an enormous impact on the wine world. From the shores of Italy, the Romans brought grapes and their winemaking techniques to North Africa, Spain and Portugal, Germany, France, the Danube Valley, the Middle East and even England. Modern Italy, which didn't actually exist as a country until the 1870s, once produced mainly simple, everyday wine. It wasn't until the 1970s that Italy began the change toward quality. The 1980s showed incredible efforts and a lot of experimentation. The 1990s marked the real jump in consistent quality, including excellence in many Region that had been indistinct for ages. The entire Italian peninsula is seeing a winemaking revolution and is now one of the most exciting wine Region in the world. For our entire Italian wine selection, click here.
