Castiglione d'Orcia

18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Castiglione d'Orcia lies on the volcanic slopes of Monte Amiata and the clay hills of the Val d'Orcia. This Siena territory of just over two thousand residents shapes intense flavors born of high altitudes and sharp temperature swings. Here, 14 local producers, with 5 welcoming visitors, craft the district's signatures. Chief among these is Orcia DOC, a robust wine born of this rugged terrain, alongside Castagna del Monte Amiata IGP, sweet chestnuts harvested from the ancient mountain forests. These local specialties anchor a list of 18 protected denominations, reflecting the wild, high-altitude character of this Tuscan outpost.
