Organic wine in Tuscan Maremma — 2026 Selection

The Tuscan Maremma is also a story of wines rooted in unique soils, often clay-based or volcanic in origin, shaped by a Mediterranean climate influenced by the sea. Think of the Bolgheri region, where grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot thrive, giving rise to renowned wines such as the Bolgheri DOC and the Bolgheri Superiore DOC. These wines, often aged in barrels, require a little patience before revealing all their complexity, pairing wonderfully with the region's game or slow-cooked dishes. It's a taste journey that begins in vineyards where history, like that of Sassicaia, has been written since the 1940s.

Beyond the prestigious appellations, the Maremma pulses to the rhythm of natural wines, often from small family-run estates certified organic and biodynamic, like those found near Saturnia or Pitigliano. These wines, with indigenous fermentation and unfiltered, express the minerality of the terroir, as exemplified by the productions of Fattoria La Maliosa. The experience doesn't stop at tasting: imagine a picnic at sunset in the vineyards, just 11 minutes by car from the Saturnia thermal center. It's this authenticity, this deep connection between the land, the wine and the landscape, that makes the Maremma so special.
