La Strada del Vino Costa degli Etruschi (The wine road of the Etruscan coast)
The wine road starts with Montecatini Val di Cecina until Montescudaia (headquarters of the DOC-Consortium), Cecina, Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci, Sassetta, Suvereto (until the 14th century in the possession of the ruling family of Aldobrandeschi), Campiglia Marittima (Palazzo Pretorio), Venturina (thermal springs) and ends with the port of Piombino. On the Island of Elba, the wine road continues and leads from Marina di Campo over the whole island, until Rio Marina. From this fertile ground originate famous types of wine such as the Sassicaia of the Count Incisa della Rocchetta. Already in the twenties as a student he was dreaming to produce a wine similar to the French Bordeaux. The year 1968 was the first year of the Sassicaia, produced on the land of the Tenuta di San Guido, near Bolgheri. The Sassicaia is even described by many wine experts as the best Italian wine. Also not to forget other DOC's of this area like the white wine Bianco della Val di Cornia (Suvereto) or the Elban wines, the Bianco L'Ansonica and the Rosso Aleatico.
