Pecorino Cheese🧀
Southern Tuscany is famous for its sheep and the pecorino cheeses made from their milk. Roccalbegna has its own award winning cheese makers, Il Fiorini. The cheese factory is located opposite the cemetery, there's a shop too where you can try out the different cheeses they make, my favourite is the one shown in the picture, it's a pecorino version of parmesan and is irresistible! Their ricotta is really good too.
Local Wines🍷
In wine terms Roccalbegna is located in the Montecucco area, between the Morellino di Scansano and the Brunello di Montalcino areas. Villa Patrizia is to date Roccalbegna's sole winery and produces a great selection of organic delicious red, white and rose wines based largely on the san giovese grape. They also produce grappa aged in oak barrels, which is well worth trying too.
Various wine tasting packages are available, including a picnic in a vineyard (you need to book in advance).
Roccalbegna's Biscotto 🥨
Roccalbegna's savoury 'biscotto' has been recognised by Italy's prestigious Slow Food organisation as an authentic local produce to be protected. They are widely available in the village shops and local supermarkets and go well with the local cheese and wine!
