terroir

Terroir in Maremma is the specific imprint of a place on what grows and is produced there. Think of the volcanic soil of the Pitigliano area that gives a particular taste to the white wines, or the sea air that subtly salts the charcuterie of the coast. It is the combination of soil, climate, terrain and human know-how that shapes local products. For you, traveler, understanding terroir means understanding why a plate of porcini mushroom pasta from Amiata will never taste the same as a plate of fresh fish from Argentario. It is the key to grasping the authenticity of every bite and every sip you will experience here.
