Maremma toscana
Wine · PDO · 28 municipalities
Recognized since 1999, the Maremma toscana DOC spans 28 municipalities across Tuscany, including Arcidosso. This sprawling appellation distinguishes itself from narrower neighboring zones through its vast diversity of permitted styles. The base red blend requires a minimum of 60% Sangiovese, Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, or Ciliegiolo, with yields capped at 12.0 tons per hectare. Notably, producers can employ the traditional governo all'uso toscano method, initiating a secondary refermentation with at least 10 kilograms of semi-dried black grapes per hectoliter to add roundness. The denomination also codifies specialized styles, including a Vin Santo aged in small oak caratelli barrels not exceeding 500 liters.
