Native and International Grapes Alike Characterize Wine in Maremma Toscana Tourism is popular for native Italians as the coastline is particularly beautiful. Photo of a Maremma Sheepdog c/o The Italian batteri are famous mounted sheepherders that are also characteristic of the region. Firstly, the Maremma breed of dog!

Well, it means that the producers grow the grapes, harvest them, make the wine, bottle it, and send it out to sell. In the Maremma Toscana Consortium, the majority of members are vertical growers. That’s why local wineries, like Lynfred, offer a mix of wines with grapes grown locally and those purchased from other growers in more hospitable states. It gets too dang cold around here for local wineries to grow many varieties of grapes. Living in the Midwest, it is easy to grasp my head around wineries that don’t grow their own grapes.

#BELLA NOTE STUDIO SANDPOINT IDAHO PROFESSIONAL#
I know this is not particular to the wines tasted, but I have to make note of how professional and beautifully ran the entire day was by the staff of Gibson’s Italia. Gibson’s Italia is a Beautiful Space for Private Events Luckily for me, under the direction of Regine Rousseau of Shall We Wine as moderator and seated with my dear friend Cindy Rynning from Grape Experiences, I was right at home. I’ll be honest: it had been about three months since I had even participated in a virtual tasting and I was worried about how rusty I’d be. You’ll remember that they also hosted the Simply Italian Great Wines event in 2019. After over a year without an in person wine tasting, I was lucky enough to be invited to a Maremma Toscana tasting by the incredible professionals of IEEM.
