Village Le Querce

The typical products one can find in our territory are still made using the method of our older generations: dishes such as “buglione”, “piciarelli”, “acquacotta alla maremmana”, “maccheroni con le noci”, “scottiglia”, “sfratti”, “melarelli” and “struffoli” but also cheese, ricotta various kinds of Italian cold cuts and cured meats such as salami and sausages (produced by renowned local cheese and cold cut meat factories).

The wine also plays a very important role in the local gastronomic folklore: wine tradition started with the Etruscans who cultivated vines which “got married” with trees and kept their unfermented grape juice in the tufaceous quarries, perfect habitats for the achievement and conservation of wine.

Nowadays three typical wines have gained the target D.O.C. (controlled origin): Morellino di Scansano, Bianco di Scansano and Rosso di Sovana.
