To promote this products there is a wine road in our territory,the "Monteregio di Massa Marittima" Wine Route wind sits way through the reclaimed land of the Colline Metallifere" (metalliferous hills) of High Maremma in the Grosseto district.The tourist itinerary includes the cellars of the wine and grape-producing businesses, working farm holiday businesses, wine shops, restaurants, local product producers and quality art and craft shops. The traveller on the Wine Route will find himself in a natural environment where Tuscany's characteristic traits meel with the strong Maremman personality. All the centres along the Route are historically rich and the three mini-routes lead to the discovery of numerous environmental, artistic and historic treasures. We got drunk with this many many times...lol!!
