Etruscan Coast Wine Route – Tuscany: vineyard hills, scents of scrub and sunsets over the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Etruscan Coast Wine Route winds along the Tuscan coast, from Livorno to the Island of Elba, crossing landscapes designed by cypresses, rolling hills, vineyards overlooking the sea and ancient stone villages. Here wine is part of the millenary culture left by the Etruscans, who were the first to cultivate vines on these soils rich in sun and salt. 🍇 Wines of excellence between land and sea: This land gives life to iconic labels such as Bolgheri DOC, known all over the world for its intense and harmonious reds, but also to mineral whites and refined passito wines such as Aleatico dell'Elba. Each glass tells the dialogue between the sea and the hills, between tradition and winemaking innovation. 👉 Tip: Choose a winery with a view of the sea between Castagneto Carducci and Bibbona: you can taste under a pergola with the scent of the sea breeze. 🏰 Villages, poetry and Etruscan roads: Suvereto, Bolgheri, Campiglia Marittima: small villages that preserve ancient stories, paved streets, artisan shops and rarefied atmospheres. The landscape alternates Mediterranean scrub, vineyards and olive groves, with the gaze always turned towards the blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea. 👉 Tip: Walk along the famous Viale dei Cipressi to the village of Bolgheri, then stop for a glass in one of the wine bars in the historic center. 🚶 Routes and stops in nature: In addition to wine, this area offers slow tourism experiences: trails in the Rimigliano reserve, coastal cycle paths, hilly paths among vineyards and olive trees. Farmhouses and wineries offer picnics in the vineyard, guided tours and relaxing stays in nature. 👉 Tip: Dedicate a day to the Island of Elba: between beaches and terraced vineyards, you can taste native wines in a unique setting in the world. 🍷 Flavours of the coast and hills: The local cuisine pairs seafood dishes such as bonito, stuffed squid and fish soups with soft reds or textured whites. Also not to be missed are the land dishes such as stewed wild boar, mushrooms, chestnuts and pecorino cheese, ideal with Bolgheri Superiore. 👉 Tip: Book a dinner at a farmhouse with a tasting menu: many facilities offer typical dishes paired with their organic wines. 🎉 Wine festivals and events in the countryside: During the summer, the Etruscan Coast hosts outdoor events, open cellars, food and wine festivals and wine festivals. Perfect opportunities to meet the producers and experience the Tuscan Mediterranean atmosphere. 👉 Tip: Visit the area in June or September: you'll find events in the vineyards, sunset tastings and wine and culture themed itineraries. Between rows overlooking the sea and villages with a silent charm, the Etruscan Coast is a Tuscany that knows how to enchant with simplicity and taste.
