These days, in the vineyards, the vines already boast fully formed bunches of grapes. This is the time of the year when the grapes grow and slowly start to change colour, abandoning their green appearance.

A few days ago, Spaziovino.com featured an article on our Morellino di Scansano Vignabenefizio. This Russian website is currently running a project called Project DOC 365 where every day of the year they present a different wine. For each wine they also present the area of production, its history, and finally the wine itself. So we thought of translating it […]
