Maremma Toscana DOC

Maremma is Tuscany's coastal frontier — a wildly beautiful stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast south of Grosseto that extends to the border with Lazio. Distinct from Bolgheri to the north, Maremma Toscana DOC covers a vast and diverse territory of granite, limestone, and volcanic soils at sea level to 600m. Vermentino is the signature white; Sangiovese and Bordeaux varieties excel in the reds. The combination of Maremma's wild character — wild boar, pecorino cheese, artichoke — and its wines creates one of Tuscany's most authentic and least touristy food-wine cultures.
