Monteverdi Marittimo

In the rugged, forested hills of the Pisa Maremma hinterland, Monteverdi Marittimo’s unique microclimate shapes agricultural character. Here, 2 verified local producers craft specialties protected under 17 distinct denominations. The municipality’s specific terroir nurtures the production of Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP, a raw milk sheep's cheese shared with just four other territories in a zone of five. This same environment feeds vineyards of the Val di Cornia DOC, where coastal breezes ripen grapes to create highly expressive wines reflecting this transition from dense inland woods to the Tyrrhenian coast.
