Consorzio di tutela vini DOC bianco di Pitigliano e Sovana The secret history of the vie cave wines

The area of production of “DOC Bianco di Pitigliano” and of the “DOC Sovana” falls in the southern part of the Tuscan region, in the province of Grosseto, in a hilly territory wich includes the municipalities of Pitigliano, Sorano and part of Manciano and Scansano. The area has a volcanic origin and its altitude avarage is 310 meters above sea level.A Mediterranean type is the climate of the area, with mild temperatures and precipitations especially concentrated in the autumn-winter months.

There are clear testament to the cultivation of vite in the territory dating back to the Etruscan, Greek and Roman periods. This millenary wine history is proof of how man has handed down over the centuries the traditional techniques of vite cultivation and enological practices, which in modern times have been improved thanks to scientific and technological progress. From all of these reasons derive the peculiar characteristics of the wines of the area.

Appellations of the Consortium are:

• Bianco di Pitigliano Doc Superiore
