 Maremma is the wildest area in Tuscany, situated in the south of the
region along the coast it is still well preserved. You can find there
the Uccellina Natural Park and the Burano World Wild Found Oasi. Maremma
is also the new boarder for the Tuscan wine, starting from the Morellino
di Scansano base, wine makers in the area offer wines that are full bodied
and strong. The traditional wild-boar salami and salsicce accompanied
by the hand-made pasta Tortelli and Tagliatelle are some of the typical
specialities of the Maremma cuisine.
Concetta lives in an isolated house on the Maremma hills along the coast
of Capalbio and Chiarone. She is the owner of a Bar and a Guesthouse,
where you can find everything (newspapers, coffee, cigarettes, bread)
and you can meet everyone (farm workers and famous writers). She is able
to introduce you to the ingredients of the simple Maremma food.
