The Roccapesta winery is a landmark in the Scansano area: a vibrant production reality that is leading the valorization of Morellino di Scansano, with robust and structured interpretations of great elegance. Its origins date back to the 1970s and today it is led by Alberto Tanzini, a good and careful producer with a passion for Sangiovese and the Maremma.

The Roccapesta winery's vineyards extend over nearly 20 hectares at 350 meters above sea level, on hard soils where stones mix with clay, and represent a perfect combination of Scansano winemaking tradition and modern experimentation: the younger 2003 plantings are flanked by very old vines, such as the Calestaia, with vines over 40 years old. We are on the border between areas of volcanic origin, near Mount Amiata, and areas of sedimentary origin, created by the ancient withdrawal of the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This heterogeneity is the great resource that Alberto has always focused on, trying to enhance and get the most out of each vineyard.

Roccapesta's wines are born from production techniques that are in close continuity with the Maremma winemaking tradition: the vineyards are organically farmed and only indigenous yeasts are used for fermentations, with no addition of oenological additives or use of chemicals. Long fermentations, aging in large barrels and prolonged stays in the bottle are the cornerstones of a production philosophy aimed at obtaining elegant, long-lived, powerful and structured wines.
