The Maremma is a land to experience and savour. Every village, hill and farm tells a story of age-old traditions, intense fragrances and authentic flavours. A food and wine journey here means immersing oneself in a culture of taste that ranges from fine wines to extra virgin olive oils and traditional local dishes.
Wines of the Maremma: excellence among vineyards and cellars
The rolling hills of the Maremma are the heart of some of Tuscany’s best wines. Morellino di Scansano, an intense, full-bodied red, and Ansonica dell’Argentario, with its fresh, mineral flavour, are just some of the excellent wines to be tasted directly in the local cellars. Several wineries offer immersive experiences, including vineyard walks, visits to historic cellars and tastings in panoramic settings.
Staying in our villages and hotels, you can set out each day to discover new food and wine experiences, among medieval villages, local markets, wineries and farms that guard the true spirit of this land.
Extra virgin olive oil: the green gold of the Maremma
The hills of the Maremma are home to centuries-old olive groves, from which the highest quality extra virgin olive oil is produced, the result of artisanal processing and sustainable methods. Numerous farms welcome guests for tours and guided tastings, allowing them to discover the unique characteristics of this product, from fruity notes to more intense and spicy ones. Among the most renowned realities for tastings are:
Fattoria La Maliosa – Organic and biodynamic production with oil tourism experiences.
Agriturismo Tesorino – Weekly tastings with samples of bruschetta and local wines.
Il Pupillo – Historic winery with high quality oils and wines.
Azienda Agricola La Màgia – Oil, homemade jams and marmalades.
Principe Corsini – Tenuta Marsiliana – Tours and tastings inside a historic estate.
Maremma cuisine: a triumph of authentic flavours
The local gastronomy reflects the strong and genuine character of the Maremma. Maremma tortelli filled with ricotta and spinach, Tuscan panzanella and ribollita are iconic dishes of the rural tradition. Meat and game find their highest expression in wild boar stew, Florentine steak and Chianina tagliata, often accompanied by a good glass of red wine.
Typical desserts: the taste of tradition
A food and wine experience in the Maremma cannot be said to be complete without a taste of its most typical desserts. The cantucci with vin santo offer a perfect combination of crunchiness and sweetness, while the panficato of the Giglio Island, made with dried figs and walnuts, recounts the authentic flavour of the island’s tradition.
