The wine Road of the Etruscan Coast
|
| |

|
From the Colline Metallifere, in the
Pisa inland until the great island of the Tuscan archipelago: the
island of Elba. This is the territory
of the Wine road Costa degli Etruschi which unfolds mostly through
the province of Livorno and the area
of the Montescudaio Doc, in the Pisa
inland.
Along this trail some of the most exclusive and refined vines of
Italian and Tuscan production are cultivated. These are the lands
that give origin to wines such as Ornellaia
and Sassicaia, the wine invented by
Mario Incisa della Rocchetta or the Guado al
Tasso (Bolgheri Doc), not forgetting the production areas
of Elba, Montescudaio
and Val di Cornia.

A trail that unwinds, as many other wine roads, through areas concealing
small and great artistic and naturalistic marvels: medieval
villages, historical castles,
parks and a wonderful
sea, that of the Elba island.
The wine road Costa degli Etruschi divides into four production
areas: Bolgheri Doc, which extends from
the medieval village of Bolgheri towards
Castagneto Carducci through the animal
oasis of Bolgheri, recognised as wetland of International interest.
In this area the prized wines of Bolgheri
originate.

| The Elba
Doc area extends throughout the surface of the island in the
Tuscan archipelago, and the vines that produce the Aleatico
wine or the vin santo Occhio di Pernice
are grown there. |

|
|
The territory of the Montescudaio Doc
extends from Cecina to reach the Pisa
inland until Guardistallo, Casale
Marittimo, Montescudaio to return
then to the Livorno coast in Bibbona.
Finally the production area Val di Cornia Doc
includes the area between Suvereto,
through Campiglia Marittima and 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.
