Scansano

Perched on the wind-swept hills of Grosseto province, this Tuscan commune of about 4,300 residents thrives where coastal Mediterranean winds collide with rugged inland ridges. This specific elevation and climate define the area's 18 overlapping protected denominations. Foremost among these is the iconic Morellino di Scansano DOCG, a wild-herbed Sangiovese, alongside the mineral-rich Bianco di Pitigliano DOC. Today, Scansano's viticultural heritage is preserved by 18 verified producers rooted in this territory, 6 of whom actively open their cellar doors to welcome international enophiles for tastings.
