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. |
