From a small group of producers to a point of reference for Morellino di Scansano
Vignaioli del Morellino di Scansano was founded in 1972 by a small group of local producers. The group grew rapidly and in the 1980s made an important choice: to focus on quality rather than quantity.
This decision required huge investments from the members and considerable effort in the vineyard. Not all producers chose to stay, but those who did were particularly motivated.
Today, the sacrifices of those pioneers have paid off. The winery has about 700 hectares of vineyards, mainly in the area around Scansano, Magliano in Toscana and Pitigliano. There are about 170 members and production is always focused on quality.
The cooperative winery is an example of success based on quality with a strong focus on sustainability, both environmental and social, to safeguard our territory, our members and consumers.
Today, the winery is a point of reference for wine enthusiasts from all over the world and helps promote the culture of wine and the Maremma region.
