Frank & Serafico Mr Morellino 2015

Morellino di Scansano, Tuscany, Italy

The Frank & Serafico estate is located in the Maremma, the so called 'wild side of Tuscany' on the coast in Grosetto. This is a modern collaboration between two young winemakers Fabrizio [Frank] Testa and Pier Paolo [Serafico] Pratesi . They decided in 2009 to rent property and make wine in the Maremma. Within 2 years they started purchasing their own vineyards and continue to add to their holdings. This estate not only specializes in craft wines but also craft beer.
