The wine road of the Etruscan Coast |
| |
|
|
From the Metalliferous hills
trough the Pisan hinterland and the Isle
of Elba - the biggest isle of the Tuscan Archipelago.
This is the area of the "Etruscan Coast" Wine Road
that extends itself mostly in the province
of Livorno up to the are of Montescudaio
DOC Wine, in the Pisan hinterland.
Indeed, it is along this way that grown some of the most
exclusive and precious wine varieties of the Tuscan and Italian
production. These are lands where grown wines such as Ornellaia
or Sassicaia, a wine created by
Mario Incisa della Rocchetta or Guado
al Tasso (Bolgheri DOC Wine), apart the productions
in the area of the Isle of Elba and
Val di Cornia.

A way that goes -as many Wine Roads- trough areas that keep
little and big beauty both artistic and naturalistic: medieval
villages, historical castles,
parks and a wonderful
sea of the Isle of Elba.
The Wine Roads of the Etruscan Coast is made up of four production
areas: Bolgheri DOC that goes
from the Medieval village of Bolgheri towards Castagneto
Carducci, through the wildlife oasis of Bolgheri, a
wet area considered of international interest. This is the
place where grown the precious wines of Bolgheri.
The area of DOC Elba goes all
over the lands of the isle of the Tuscan Archipelao. There
grown of wine varieties that become Aleatico
wine or Vin Santo (straw wine) Occhio
di Pernice.

The area of DOC Montescudaio
goes from Cecina up to the Pisan
hinterland: Guardistallo, Casale Marittimo,
Montescudaio and again along to
the coast of Livorno, up to Bibbona.
|
| |
|
|
Eventually the production area of DOC
Val di Cornia includes the area of Suvereto,
through Campignia Marittima, up
to Piombino.
Unspoilt beaches and green
pine groves, seaside holidays
and golden tans, long walks
and disco nights: the Etruscan Coast offers all this and much
more. Great wines are also produced
here, to the extent of attracting writers of specialist magazines
and connoisseurs throughout the world.
