Manciano
Maremma hill country: pecorino, natural wine, and the hot springs down the road.
8 days outthe nearest is a 2 h 02 drive from Rome
Manciano sits high over the Albegna valley with the Tuscan Maremma spread out below it and Monte Amiata behind. This is sheep country — the pecorino is made in dairies you can walk into — and the vineyards on the slopes work with as little intervention as they can.
Saturnia, where the hot sulphur water comes out of the ground and runs over limestone terraces, is fifteen minutes away.
