FATTORIA LE PUPILLE MORELLINO DOCG RISERVA
The Riserva represents the roots of Fattoria Le Pupille, being the first wine to step into winery’s doorstep. We are back in 1982 and it was the harvest of ’78, year of birth of the DOC Morellino di Scansano, to take the first steps into the sphere of quality wines markets.
