The village of Scansano is the heart of the production of Morellino di Scansano Docg. Its origins go back to the Middle ages and over time it became increasingly popular especially during the 19th century when public offices moved here from Grosseto, during the summer. Among the most interesting buildings, the Archeological and viticulture museum, located inside the 15th century Palazzo Pretorio, is worth mentioning, together with Teatro Castagnoli, a beautiful 200-seat theatre built in the 19th century.
