The Morellino & the D.O.C.G.
Morellino di Scansano became a Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) recognized wine starting with the 2007 harvest.
The addition of the “garantita” to the title which was bestowed on the Consorzio in 1978, DOC, is the result of the labor of producers and growers over the last 30 years in order to reach an exceptional level of quality at every stage of wine production.
