Grotta

In Maremma, when people talk about a «Grotta», you often think of a natural cavity carved into the rock. But here, it's more specific. A grotta is typically an old wine cellar or storeroom, often carved into volcanic tuff, especially around Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana. These grottoes maintain a constant temperature, ideal for wine, cheese or cured meats. For you, the traveler, it's an opportunity to visit unique places, sometimes converted into restaurants or tasting spaces, which immerse you directly in the agricultural history and local geology. It's a hands-on immersion in the local terroir.
