Collection: Organic Morellino di Scansano
Morellino di Scansano is the Sangiovese of the Tuscan Maremma, DOCG since 2007, produced in the Grosseto hinterland where viticulture coexists with Mediterranean scrubland, butteri (cowboys), and still wild nature. The name "Morellino" has uncertain origins: according to the most accredited theory, it derives from the dark — "morello" — color of the Sangiovese grapes grown in this area; according to others, from the dialectal term Maremma farmers used for the dark horses employed in the vineyards.

Fun fact: until the 1970s, Morellino was practically unknown outside Maremma. It was the work of a few pioneering producers — including Erik Banti and Fattoria Le Pupille — that transformed it into an internationally recognized wine. Today, the appellation boasts over 100 producers and 1,200 hectares of vineyards.
