What grows here
Torrita di Siena
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
This Sienese municipality of fewer than 7,000 residents lies where the southern Tuscan hills yield exceptional olive oils and characterful wines. Among its 21 protected denominations, the local Valdichiana toscana DOC stands out, drawing its character from the ancient reclaimed soils of the Chiana basin. Torrita di Siena currently hosts 5 certified producers, with 1 open for visits. Here, the geological transition from the sandy olive groves of Terre di Siena DOP to the clay-rich vineyards of Orcia DOC showcases a microclimate uniquely suited to slow-ripening Sangiovese and Trebbiano grapes.
