Geographical Production Area

Ansonica Costa dell'Argentario DOC is produced in the coastal area of Monte Argentario, in the province of Grosseto, Tuscany. The region is characterized by a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers. The soil is primarily sandy with a good presence of clay, which contributes to the unique characteristics of the wine. The vineyards benefit from the sea breezes, which mitigate the summer heat and contribute to a balanced ripening of the grapes.
