 he Capalbio D.O.C. appellation is applicable to wines produced in the hilly territories in the south of the province of Grosseto, in Tuscany - an area bordering on the Natural Reserve of the Maremma and embracing the municipalities of Magliano, Capalbio, Orbetello and Marciano.The presence here of two other D.O.C. wines, Parrina and Ansonica Costa dell'Argentario, testify to the ancient winegrowing traditions of this land. After all, there is plenty of historical evidence that the ancients used to export the wine produced in this area to far away lands using the ancient Roman port of Cosa. In the Middle Ages too, as well as in the 17th century, the wines produced here were regularly exported. Capalbio D.O.C. applies to both red and white grapes produced in the vineyards of the rolling, sun-drenched hills just beyond the typically Mediterranean maquis of the coastline. Thanks to a rich array of alternatives, the otherwise strict regulation for the production of Capalbio D.O.C. wines has encouraged the winemakers to constantly strive to improve their wines.
