If you choose to spend your farmhouse holiday near Grosseto, you'll get acquainted with the flavoured and rustic food of Maremma. The main courses are based on meat (coming from the local cattle breeding), wild birds and the famous Maremma wild boar. These earthy courses are best accompanied by the local Morellino di Scansano, one the most famous red wines in Tuscany, a perfect match for a complete Maremma-style meal (pappardelle, crostini, bread soup...). And for a light and refreshing aperitif, we suggest the Bianco di Pitigliano, a brilliant white wine which can compete with Prosecco.
