Follonica

Follonica sits where the mineral-rich hills of Grosseto sweep down to the curve of its namesake Maremma gulf, a coastal frontier that shapes the distinctive wines of the Monteregio di Massa Marittima DOC—a denomination shared with just six other municipalities. This maritime-inland transition zone nurtures 17 protected food and wine designations. Today, 4 verified local producers craft these certified culinary treasures right within the municipal borders, including 2 welcoming estates open for tastings. Here, the salty sea breeze and iron-infused soils yield exceptional wines and foods that reflect the wild soul of the Tuscan coast.
