...salami and salsicce, tortelli and tagliatelle... |
|
Maremma, in southern coastal Tuscany, is the wildest area in the province. Despite its increasing popularity, it remains well preserved, especially the Uccellina Natural Park (Parco Naturale della Maremma) and the Burano Oasis, protected by the Wild World Fund (WWF) to safeguard the dozen of bird species, some rare, that stop here to build their nests. Maremma is well known for excellent full-bodied and strong wines, notably Morellino di Scansano. The traditional wild boar salami and salsicce, accompanied by hand-made tortelli and tagliatelle, are typical specialties of Maremma cuisine.
Concetta lives in an isolated house on the Maremma hills along the coast of Capalbio and Chiarone. She is the owner of a Bar and a Guesthouse, where you can find everything (newspapers, coffee, cigarettes, bread) and you can meet everyone (farm workers and famous writers). She is able to introduce you to the ingredients of the simple Maremma food.
