The Etruscan Coast Wine Route winds its way through silvery olive trees, farms,
vineyards, wine cellars, churches and castles in the evocative setting of hills
and cypresses on one side and the sea on the other, to discover tastes and products
of this beautiful countryside. The route runs parallel to the Tyrrhenian coastline
winding its way down from the hills surrounding the valley of the River Cecina
to the Gulf of Piombino, and after a brief sea crossing continues on the island
of Elba.
The white sandy beaches and unspoilt blue sea are characteristic of this coastal
paradise.
It is here that Bolgheri DOC wines are produced – world-class wines such as Sassicaia,
Guado al Tasso and Ornellaia as well as numerous others of the highest quality.
This "Eldorado of Italian wine" as it has been called, is the result of nature's
generosity, the climate and the talent of its wine makers. Bolgheri has become
one of the most interesting and gifted areas in the whole universe of wine thanks
to some illuminated personages, among such as Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, the
oenologist Giacomo Tachis and the Marchesi Piero and Ludovico Antinori.
The experimental use of "international" grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon,
Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and the constant research for innovation and quality has
attracted the interest and support of the best world wine critics such as Veronelli,
Marvin Shenker and well know national and international wine producers.
In addition to wine, the extra-vergin olive oil produced here is of the highest
quality and blends in perfectly with the territory
