The Rocca di Montemassi Estate is a historic landmark in the Maremma. It is a place where one can enjoy the renaissance of rural values as well as a vigorous yet elegant landscape that has no equal anywhere else in the world. Today Rocca di Montemassi embodies the soul of the Tuscan Maremma and of its people.
