On the sloping hils, where the earth lends itself for the cultivation of quality products such as wine, oil and saffron, lies the evidence of the agricultural vocation of the territory. This is where the DOC wines of Montecucco and Morellino di Scansano reign. Excellent extra virgin olive oils, salami, honey and pecorino cheeses full of real flavour and the scents of traditional and genuine receipes can all be tasted here. A vast choice of culinary establishments, many of them typical trattorie and osterie, allows the vistor to rediscover the taste of typical products in dishes which have preserved the flavours and traditions of times gone by.
