When is the Morellino di Scansano harvest done?

The harvest of the Morellino di Scansano generally takes place from mid-September to early October, with part of the harvest sometimes continuing later depending on grape ripeness and the weather. The schedule varies from one estate to another: some plots are ready as early as September, while others wait a few weeks longer.

If you want to see the harvest during a stay in Scansano or the surrounding area, aim rather for the second half of September ; it's a likely period, not a guarantee. The exact date changes every year, and the harvest takes place in the estates' vineyards, not necessarily at an event open to the public. Contact the wineries before traveling: some offer visits or tastings, but access to the harvest is not guaranteed.
