The province of Grosseto produces top-quality wines, including reds, whites, rosés, passitos, Vin Santo, late harvest wines, and even sparkling wines, you can enjoy Wine Tasting Grosseto here. The high quality of the wines produced is primarily due to the unique climate, resulting from the close proximity of the sea, mountains, and hills. Winters are never too cold and summers are never excessively hot.
The province of Grosseto is also a land with a very ancient winemaking tradition, evidenced by the vineyards of Scansano, home to Morellino, and those of Pitigliano, from the seaside terraces of Giglio Island to the hills of medieval Massa Marittima.
In the province of Grosseto, we find one DOCG, seven DOCs, and two IGTs.
Morellino di Scansano DOCG

The Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG

The production area falls within the southern part of Tuscany, specifically the eastern edge of the province of Grosseto, in a vast area stretching from the slopes of Mount Amiata to the last hills before the city of Grosseto, extending north and northeast to the border with the province of Siena, partly delimited by the Ombrone River and its tributary, the Orcia.

The Ansonica Costa dell’Argentario DOC
