This year the decision was to support the association Il Sogno di Nidia , an organisation based in Manciano (Grosseto) Committed to promoting the autonomy and independence of young people with disabilities . In particular, the charity focuses on the "after us" with projects aimed at providing young people with a safe and welcoming future when their families can no longer provide for them.
Created directly by the association's young people, the illustration on Roggiano 's label depicts a bunch of grapes bathed in the light of a shining sun, a symbol and omen of a bright tomorrow.
Available from mid-October in a limited run of 3,000 bottles, the special edition of Roggiano will donate a portion of sales to the purchase and renovation of a home in Manciano . Through initiatives like this, the association aims to create residential spaces designed to support people with disabilities towards greater independence, recreating an environment as close to home as possible.
The limited edition of Roggiano Morellino di Scansano DOCG Il Sogno di Nidia will be available at the price of 10 euros at the winery's point of sale and in the online shop: www.vignaiolidiscansano.it/shop/
Benedetto Grechi, President of the Morellino di Scansano Winery
"With the fifth edition of the Roggiano solidarity label, we continue to contribute to the local solidarity efforts, a place we've been celebrating for over fifty years, even through our wines. We've always believed in the values of solidarity and cooperation, and with Il Sogno di Nidia , with whom we share our values and vision, we immediately found a wonderful synergy."
Stefania Saccardi, President of the Regional Council of Tuscany
Morellino di Scansano is an important expression of the Maremma's identity and culture, a heritage born from the bond with the land and the work of its communities. With this initiative, that bond also translates into a concrete gesture of care for others: wine becomes a vehicle for a message of inclusion and a tool to support the project for independence for people with disabilities promoted by the Il Sogno di Nidia association. The theme of "after us" calls us to a collective responsibility: to create the conditions so that each person can look to the future with greater serenity, relying on welcoming spaces and opportunities to realize their own life path. It is significant that a representative local enterprise like Cantina Vignaioli Morellino di Scansano chooses to dedicate part of its value to this goal, demonstrating how tradition, identity, and social responsibility can walk hand in hand.
Lidia Bai, Regional Councilor
This initiative originates in the province of Grosseto and demonstrates the ability of businesses and associations to network to provide concrete solutions to those most in need. The theme of "after us" concerns many families and involves the entire community: ensuring people with disabilities have a welcoming environment, with greater independence and without losing their sense of home. I thank Cantina Vignaioli Morellino di Scansano for linking a symbolic Maremma product to a solidarity project, and the young people from the Il Sogno di Nidia association, whose design transformed the label into a wish for the future. Promoting this experience is important to help it grow and become a point of reference even beyond the borders of Tuscany.
Graziana Mazzuoli, President of the Nidia's Dream Association
Our ultimate goal is to purchase a home that can become a place of growth and independence for its residents, where they can gradually experience independent living in a welcoming, family-like environment. For us, independence isn't just a goal to be achieved, but a journey to be built day by day through real experiences, concrete opportunities, and relationships that can guide the kids toward the future. For us, this label represents much more than a sign of solidarity. It speaks to the coming together of people, sensibilities, and diverse backgrounds united by the desire to contribute to a better future. And it reminds us that when a company, an association, and a community choose to walk together, even a small gesture can become part of a larger project.
The wine
Roggiano It has a full ruby color, rich in color, enlivened by purple highlights. The bouquet is characterized by character and pleasantness, breadth and depth, with fruity, floral, and spicy notes suffused with hints of undergrowth. The palate is persistent and balanced: the tannins are clearly present yet elegant, subtle, and balanced, along with the freshness, by a fruity roundness. It is perfect with savory first courses and red meat or game main courses. Excellent with pappardelle with wild boar ragù.
The Association
Nidia's Dream was founded in July 2023 in Manciano, in the province of Grosseto, as an association made up of families living in the areas of Manciano, Pitigliano, and Sorano. The association promotes initiatives for people with disabilities and works to create housing solutions that foster independence and replicate, as much as possible, the conditions of a family home.
