The cultivation of vines in Scansano and surrounding areas has very ancient origins, evidence of its presence leads us to the Etruscans, demonstrated by the findings of agricultural tools for pruning and harvesting grapes at the archaeological site of Ghiaccioforte.
In the medieval period, interesting quotes from scholars and researchers highlight the excellence of the pedo-climatic conditions that the Scansanese area offers for the precious cultivation of the vine.
Rulers and feudal lords in the Middle Ages recognized the need to grant, by distinguishing them, lands suitable for this crop, which had particular protection with specific statutory regulations. On the occasion of the subdivisions of feudal and municipal land, the land concessions in areas with a viticultural vocation were explicitly indicated: in the statutes of the Cotton Community, in that of Montorgiali and that of Scansano the rules established for the protection of vines and The grapes were very severe, so much so that they imposed a fine for the owners of animals that caused damage to the vineyards.
The first detailed or scientifically ordered information on the production dates back to 1813, when the ” Maire della Comune di Scansano ” in a letter sent to the Deputy Prefect of the Grosseto district communicated that in the previous year in the Scansano area 5,540 hectoliters of wine were produced in much of superior quality. Luigi Villafranchi-Giorgini in a memoir read in 1847 to the Grossetan Agricultural Society, stated that in the Botanical Garden of Pisa there was a vine trunk five arms high – 2.92 meters – and a circumference of four – 2.36 meters -, coming from “Castagneta Valle”, in the Municipality of Scansano.
In 1884 in a study on the development of agriculture, industry and trade in the province of Grosseto, Giacomo Barabino reports the high quality of the wines of Magliano, Pereta and Scansano.

On 21 December 1884 the ordinary member of the Accademia dei Georgofili Luigi Vannuccini held a conference in Scansano to support the need for a social cellar.In addition, on the subject of historical news on Scansanese viticulture, again Luigi Vannuccini, who in 1887 published a monograph on the “Cultivation of low-stemmed vines with supports with a single spur or fruit-bearing shoot in the Scansanese territory in relation to sapling or cornetto vines without support”.
As a demonstration of the roots of the winemaking tradition in the territory, the “Grape Festival” has been held in Scansano since 1969, celebrations linked to the harvest period, in the dozens of medieval cellars of the town, in turn testimony to the widespread popular custom of production for family consumption and sale.
A publication of the Provincial Inspectorate of Agriculture of Grosseto on “Viticulture Grossetana”, published in 1972, reporting the results of a historical research on the origins and expansion of vines in the hilly areas of the Province, confirms the pre-eminent importance of Scansanese wines. known for over a century for their excellent quality and shelf life.
The DOCG Morellino di Scansano wine obtained the recognition of the Controlled Designation of Origin on January 6, 1978, then DOCG on January 7, 1997.

Black Grape

Info

The black grape Sangiovese is cultivated in the regions: Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Latium, Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Molise, Piedmont, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany, Umbria, Veneto.
Sangiovese is probably a vine originating from Tuscany (it has been known since the Etruscan period, around the eighth century BC) and its name could derive from the term “Sangue di Giove”, testifying to the ancient link between wine and divinity . Another less vague theory traces the origin of the name to the origin from San Giovanni Valdarno.
The wine supply of the capital Florence in the Renaissance period was precisely from the Castles of Valdarno di Sopra, built in the territories conquered by the Florentines a few centuries earlier. In 1716, the Grand Duke Cosimo III de ‘Medici issued a notice to regulate the protection of the wines of Chianti, Pomino, Carmignano and Valdarno di Sopra. There is another thesis according to which Sangiovese was born in Santarcangelo di Romagna. In fact, already in Roman times, vines were grown on these hills near the Rubicon. Hence the name “Colle Jovis” where Santarcangelo arose and developed.
Sangiovese therefore as a conjunction of SANGUIS and JOVIS blood of Jupiter. From recent genetic studies it seems that “Sangiovese”, contrary to its widespread and historical presence in the Tyrrhenian area, has numerous kinship with cultivars grown in Southern Italy, especially in Sicily and Calabria. Ten varieties make up the “family” and “Ciliegiolo” seems to be a direct descendant of it.

Wine Characteristics

From the Sangiovese grape we obtain a wine of intense ruby ​​red color, tannic, full-bodied, harmonious, with a pleasant bitter and fruity aftertaste; aged it releases the characteristic tertiary aromas.
