All the production areas of the seven municipalities that are part of the appellation - Scansano, Campagnatico, Grosseto, Magliano in Toscana, Manciano, Roccalbegna, Semproniano - thanks to the seasonally balanced finale from the meteorological point of view, they managed to harvest perfectly ripe grapes with an excellent balance between sugars and acidity.
