4 Steps of Wine Road – 4 Extraordinary DOC and DOCG Stops
Far from the usual DOC clichès that make Tuscany famous, I propose:
1st Stop : Colline di Candia (Massa)
The terrior : heroic viticulture perched between the white marble quarries and the sea breeze
The Glass : A savory Vermentino tau yet vibrant
The Cellars : The Consortium of the Apuan Hills
2nd Stop : Carmignano (Prato)
The Terrior : The Carmignano wine and Prato Flavors Road beloved hills by the Medici family since 1716
The Glass : Rosso Nobile where Cabernet and Sangiovanesi blend They blend
The Winery : The Best
3rd Stop Livorno
The Terrior : The Etruscan Coast, where the mineral soil meets the warmth of the coast
The Glass : Bordeaux reds like Merlot and Cabernet, monumental and rich with the warth of the Mediterranean scrub
The Winery : The Best
4th Step Montecucco – Grosseto
The Terrior : Mount Amiata dominates the area, creating wild lava-like soils thanks to the ancient volcano
The Glass : Sangiovese powerful mineral rich flavor dictated by the volcano
