DOC-Area for white, red, and rosé wines in the central west of the Italian region Tuscany, named after the municipality on the Livorno coast. The vineyard area, which was only 200 hectares in the late 1990s, now encompasses around 900 hectares around the municipality of Castagneto Carducci in the province of Livorno in the west of the region. This was named after the literary historian Giosuè Carducci (1835-1907), who spent his childhood there. Bolgheri is a district located eight kilometers north of it, which includes the approximately 500-hectare nature reserve Oasi di Bolgheri. Among the most famous and largest producers are Antinori with the winery Guado al Tasso and Gaja with the winery Ca’ Marcanda. The image shows the Bellaria Alta vineyard of the winery Ornellaia with a view of the sea and the coastal municipality of Marina di Bibbona.
