AIA Morellino di Scansano DOCG

Aia Vecchia, the name of an old building situated in the Tuscan countryside between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci and next the Tyrrhenian coast, is the center of the winery today. The particularly favorable microclimate and ideally suited soils of this area make the production of high quality wines possible. The position of the vineyards allow the vines to receive a great deal of light, both direct sunlight and indirect as reflected off of the sea, which allows for an early harvest.The property consists of 104 acres split into two estates in Bolgheri and Maremma Grossetana. In the Bolgheri zone are planted: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot grapes, which are used for the production of two of the flagship wines: “Lagone” and “Sor Ugo.” In the cellar situated in Castagneto Carducci there are 2,000 barriques. The Morellino di Scansano and the Vermentino are produced at the estate of Magliano in Toscana (Grosseto), where the Pellegrini family owns 74 acres planted to Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Vermentino and Viognier grape varieties.
