Local Wines
The Maremma Collinare is an excellent territory for wine making.
In fact, it has been producing wines since the time of the Etruscans.
Over the past 20 years, with the growing world interest in wine, the whole area has experienced a boom in production and has become very popular on the international market.
This land made national wine history with the DOC Bianco di Pitigliano, which is today a premier Tuscan and Italian white wine.
The Bianco di Pitigliano is joined by the Rosso di Sovana, which also has DOC recognition, as well as numerous IGT labels that exemplify the great wine making potential in the Maremma Collinare.
