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.
