The DOC Montecucco, situated at the northeastern boundaries of the province of Grosseto, embraces the municipalities of Arcidosso, Campagnatico, Castel del Piano, Cinigiano, Civitella Paganico, Roccalbegna and Seggiano, and is easily accessible from the main roads of Tuscany.
The area is highly suitable for the production of Sangiovese and enjoys very favorable climatic conditions. The proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, just a few miles far, contrasts behind with the presence of the now extinguished Amiata volcano.
These elements ensure a good ventilation, a proper water intake during the winter months and the long sunny summers.
Composed of fragmented sandstone in the more shallow areas, the soil changes its composition along the slopes of Mount Amiata, with the strong presence of lava compounds, which give vines minerality and flavor; right from the combination of this terroir and the skilful hands of our farmers, a sangiovese of great value is made: Montecucco.
