Toscana – Scansano: The Home of Morellino Magic
In the enchanting hills of southern Tuscany, the Scansano region shines as a hidden gem of Italian winemaking. This coastal area, blessed with Mediterranean breezes and sun-soaked vineyards, is the birthplace of Morellino di Scansano, a red wine crafted primarily from Sangiovese. Known for its fresh, fruity profile with hints of spice, Morellino captures the essence of Scansano’s unique terroir. Alongside Sangiovese, the region cultivates grapes like Ciliegiolo, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which contribute to its diverse and expressive wines.
