Capalbio

The village of Capalbio

Capalbio is a municipality in the Province of Grosseto, in the Tuscany region of Italy. It borders the following municipalities: Manciano, Montalto di Castro, Orbetello. The name derives probably from the Latin Caput Album or Campus Albus (White Cape or Field, respectively), due to the white alabaster stone dug in the area. The hills around the commune are part 'Denominazione di origine controllata' (DOC) that produces red, white and rosé wines as a dessert Vin Santo style.
