VALLE D’ORO, a precious gift from the past
As a creative Event and Experiential agency, 3-D Events www.3-devents.com is always looking for new unique and memorable
experiences for our audience.
Today we want to share with you the beauty and the magnificence of a little known territory, Valle d’Oro – Golden Valley situated in Tuscany’s Maremma close to Capalbio.
This area includes twelve main archeologic sites of which the most important are the ancient Roman village of Cosa (modern Ansedonia), the beautifull Villa Settefinestre and Villa delle Colonne.
There is an
interesting project called ‘Archaelogical and Landscape Park of the Golden
Valley’ created by Maremmamare Association, which has the purpose of establishing
a park, protecting and increasing the value of this archaelogical and
enviromental territory.
Visitors
will be astonished at discovering this
marvellous place running into memorable
remnants of once former glory, and experiencing a pristine territory with green
hills, olive tree groves, mediterranean scrub and wheat fields.
All the archeological findings discovered in the area show that in Roman times here wine was produced in industrial quantities , and it was exported to all Mediterranean locations. Also, presence of several dry stone walls proves already 2.000 years ago the presence of agricutural activities and cultivated fields.
Today the
Golden Valley offers breathtaking landscapes, famous wineries producing very
special wines – l’oro, the gold - known
al lover the world as a result of a perfect combination of terroir and
microclimate.
The
immediate proximity of the sea and beautiful beaches near Capalbio and Monte
Argentario make this area a must to visit place in Southern Tuscany!
