Every year, in Maremma, on the night between the 30th of April and the 1st of May a very special tradition is celebrated, called Canti del Maggio [Songs of May].

We often receive emails or messages on Facebook from Morellino di Scansano enthusiasts who as us where they can find our wines. Very often they have visited our winery, perhaps when on holiday in Maremma, and, after some time they have returned home, they have finished their provisions of Morellino.

As many villages in Maremma, Scansano also enjoyed […]
