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.
