First of all, my thanks go to the work of my predecessor, Rossano Teglielli , for the excellent work done so far. The DOCG in recent years has managed, thanks to a wide-ranging promotion and communication work, to carve out the space it deserves: that of a wine with a strong identity, an expression of Sangiovese in this area of Tuscany.

The Board of Directors then sees the entry of two new members: Gaia Cerrito (Pietramora) and Cosimo Carnasciali (Col di Bacche) who go to support the confirmed Moreno Bruni (Az. Agr. Bruni) , Leonardo Rossi (Poggio Brigante) , Piero Sabatino (Val delle Rose) and Paolo Gobbi (Cantina Coop. Vignaioli) .

"Thanks to the excellent work done by the previous administration, we are now able to start a new phase in which we will undertake to carry out the promotion projects we have been working on for some time and achieve the objectives we have set ourselves to make the Morellino even stronger. The spirit of cohesion that has animated all the partners in the last three years will be even more fundamental for the work that awaits us from here to the next few years - concludes the new president Bernardo Guicciardini Calamai -. We are going through a unique historical moment , of great transformation: the pandemic forces us to face with force and determination important market changes, towards which our denomination has all the characteristics to be able to interpret them in the best way ".
