The cuisine of this area are incredible tasting and rich in flavours: the acquacotta is the dish par excellence of the Maremma, or delicious pappardelle alla lepre, egg noodles with hare sauce, or tortelli ripieni di bietola e ricotta con sughi di carne, ravioli stuffed with chard and ricotta cheese with meat sauce.

 But there are also fish dishes which are delicate and vigorous at the same time. Then there are soups and garlic breads boasting of delicious local olive oil and innumerable cheeses and wines. Both the wines and the olive oils from this area are exceptional. Fine D.O.C. wines exhault the unique flavors of the excellent local dishes. The Maremma offers many wine and gourmet itineraries to serious connoisseurs and those who simply love good food and wine. 
One may follow the Strade del Vino: the "Colli di Maremma" with one of the Tuscan red, Morellino di Scansano; the "Montegregio-Massa Marittima" with examples of the Maremma's new wine growing abilities and, the last founded, Montecucco with the unique flavours of a wine born on mountain slopes.
