Morellino di Scansano DOCG is a Sangiovese-based wine from a region of Tuscany known as the Maremma. In this episode we escape to a diverse landscape, learn about the history of the Maremma and Morellino di Scansano, and go off the beaten path.
Cowboys? Yes. Swamps? Uh huh. And what does a little pope and animals trashing a vineyard have to do with any of it? Yeah. We let the mind - and the dialogue - wander a bit this week, but we always return to the reason you clicked on this episode in the first place - the wine.
