Experience the vibrant heart of the Maremma with the 2024 Ghiaccio Forte Morellino di Scansano DOCG. Crafted exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grown in the sun-drenched hills near the Tyrrhenian Sea, this wine captures the unique energy and savory charm of Tuscany's coastal appellation. The name Ghiaccio Forte (Strong Ice) comes from an ancient Etruscan settlement where nearby caves were used to store snow, a nod to the deep history and cool influence of the terroir.

Tasting Notes & Character

This is a wine of bright intensity and focus, offering a pure, unadulterated taste of Sangiovese.

• Color: Medium, bright ruby red.

• Aroma: Immediately expressive with dominant notes of ripe red berries (cherry, raspberry, cranberry) complemented by nuanced layers of rose hip, dried herbs, and a distinct ferrous (iron filings) minerality that speaks to the rich soil.⁵

   

• Palate: Medium-bodied, fresh, and crunchy.⁶ It delivers clear, juicy cherry fruit with a refreshing, slightly sour bite.⁷ The texture is taut yet smooth, with firm, dusty tannins and a savory, blood orange tang on the finish.⁸

   

• Vinification: To preserve its purity and fresh Sangiovese expression, the wine is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel tanks.⁹ The grapes are hand-harvested from vineyards farmed organically since 2020.

   

• Critic Score: 92 Points - James Suckling (2024 vintage).

   

The 2024 Ghiaccio Forte is a wonderfully versatile red, perfectly suited for the table.
