  Parrina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parrina is a small Italian Denominazione di Origine Controllata comprising parts of the commune of Orbetello in the province of Grosseto, Tuscany.
The DOC was awarded in 1971, and extends to 110.33 hectares (272.6 acres), with about 20 wine producers, the largest of which, by far, is Antica Fattoria La Parrina.
The name "Parrina" may originate from the Castilian word for a pergola on which vines or figs are grown.

 La Parrina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antica Fattoria La Parrina is a large winery and farm close to the Italian town of Orbetello in the province of Grosseto, Tuscany.
The estate comprises 4.5 square kilometres (1,112 acres), of which less than a quarter is allocated to wine production, although the vineyards represent the vast majority of the Parrina Denominazione di Origine Controllata.
The geography is typical of Mediterranean scrubland, with sea breezes and hot summers, and rainfall largely occurring in spring and autumn.

Parrina, a small area in the Tuscan Maremma with an ancient grape-growing and winemaking tradition, extends from Albina to Ansedonia and on to the Argentario peninsula.
That etymology has been contested, however, by those who argue that the name of the area is derived from that of a group of friars, Parrini, who established their monastery in the territory around the 12th century.
The wines of Parrina have had many admirers, including enologist Arturo Marescalchi, who described its vineyards, along with others in the Argentario zone, as among the finest in Tuscany.

On the contrary, and despite the natural barrier created by Apennines, vineyards blanket the region from the Tyrrehenian coast across to the Umbrian border.
The coastal region is known as the Maremma and is home to a number of DOCs including Bolgheri, Suvereto, Parrina and Morellino di Scansano.
Overlooked for decades and chronically undervalued, Morellino di Scansano and the neighbouring DOC of Parrina are paradise for the bargain hunter.
