DOC area for red wines, rosé wines and white wines in the south of the Italian region of Tuscany. It is located in the Maremma landscape (see there). The former IGT area was highly classified in 2011. The zone covers the entire province of Grosseto. If the grapes come from certain municipalities with classified vineyards, the municipality as well as Vigna followed by the name of the vineyard can be indicated on the bottle label. There are almost 200 defined geographical indications. The municipalities are Arcidosso, Campagnatico, Castel del Piano, Castell'Azzara, Castiglione della Pescaia, Cinigiano, Civitella Paganico, Follonica, Gavorrano, Grosseto, Isola del Giglio, Magliano in Toscana, Manciano, Monterotondo Marittimo, Montieri, Orbetello, Roccalbegna, Roccastrada, Santa Fiora, Scarlino, Seggiano, Semproniano and Sorano.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
