Cinghiale alla Maremmana
The Maremma is a coastal area of Tuscany, bordering the Tyrrhenian Sea, that encompasses much of south-western Tuscany and a part of northern Lazio as well. It is a lovely area of seaside towns, long stretches of beaches, endless horizons and a wealth of natural beauty. As one can imagine, it is a popular tourist area during the summer months but has its own charms that can be enjoyed all throughout the year and some that might even be more enjoyable in the colder months; such as the hiking and walking trails that are more enjoyable without intense heat, the stark landscapes of the beaches in winter, the quiet of the resorts out of season, and more. However, another great part of Autumn and Winter in Maremma is the Tuscan cuisine, which is perfect for getting cosy on cooler days, and an ideal Maremma dish on days like this is Cinghiale alla Maremmana.     Read More
