ABOUT MAREMMA WINES
Maremma Toscana wines cover an extensive array of styles springing from a quaint province in Tuscany. Often referred to as Tuscany's hidden secret, the Maremma is a romantic haven.
This once marshy area now boasts rich soils and moisture-free climates. The Maremma is one of Italy's driest and sunniest places, but a consistent breeze from the sea and altitude makes the summers beyond bearable. In addition, the hills, sea, and wind keep the soil rich with minerals.
Mature and high-quality wine grapes are abundant due to the climate and seacoast fostering fertile soil. Signature grapes include red Tuscan classics such as Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, while white wines feature Rebbiano Toscano and Vermentino.
ABOUT
Maremma was born with forests and marshes; it was not the picture of a fine wine-producing region. It wasn't until the 1700's that the area became rehabilitated and encouraged optimal crop growing environments. From then on, winemakers have experienced the quality crops the Maremma cultivates.
First established in 2011, Maremma Toscana's DOC officially went into action in 2014 to protect the Maremma Toscana name. As a result, all cultivated vineyards in the region of Grosseto can produce wine under the Maremma Toscana name.
