Badia di Morrona VignAalta is a 100% Sangiovese from Tuscany, made from grapes selected from the best vineyards on the estate. The nose is intense and elegant, with red fruit, cherries, wild cherries and sweet spices. The palate is full-bodied, structured and balanced, with well-integrated tannins and a long finish. Most of the wine is aged in 2500 liter (650 gallon) French oak casks, and the rest in 250 liter (60 gallon) second-use barrels.
Badia di Morrona sits in the Pisan hills, in the comune of Terricciola between Pisa and Florence. It is one of four badie founded by the count of Fucecchio, dating to the 11th century, when Benedictine monks ran it. Today the third-generation owners farm olives and vines, with 110 of the estate's 600 hectares planted, mostly on clay soil, and all grapes are picked by hand. They have recently built a new winery, powered by a large solar installation that makes the estate self-sufficient in energy. Their wines are vegan.
