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.
