Terre di Pisa wine Consortium: from hills to sea, the unexpected Tuscany

The wine production in the Terre di Pisa dates back to the Etruscans who inhabited that land which is present-day the Tuscan coast and who cultivated vines. From the Renaissance onwards, over the centuries, there are numerous documents talking about the wine of the Pisan hills as a product of established quality, well known beyond the local geographical boundaries: thanks to Pisan wine merchants who travelled around the ancient known world and to the foreign policy of Medici family. In 1885 took place the first Wine and Olive Oil fair of Pisa, testifying the growing will of the territory to create its own well-defined identity.

In late 2018 Consorzio Vini Terre di Pisa is finally born with the aim of protecting and promoting the high quality wine production which, along these last 20 years, has given proof to be very lively and true expression of Terre di Pisa territory: from the hills to the sea, in a Tuscany that you do not expect. 

TERRE DI PISA D.O.C. was born in 2011 to represent the best of Terre di Pisa wine production based in the municipalities of Fauglia, Crespina, Lari, Chianni, Capannoni, Palaia, Peccioli, Terricciola, Casciana Terme, Ponsacco, Pontedera, Montopoli VA , San Miniato, Orciano Pisano, Lorenzana and Santa Luce. It is characterized by a predominantly hilly landscape, where the presence of the vine is inserted and integrated into a unique ecosystem, in which the vineyards alternate with woods, olive groves and arable land ideal for a mainly organic viticulture.

The disciplinary (currently being amended to include white and rosé) includes:

• TERRE DI PISA SANGIOVESE - with a minimum 95% of Sangiovese grapes
• TERRE DI PISA rosso which can represent wines with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah alone or jointly, minimum 70%.
