Terratico di Bibbona
Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities
Established in 2009 across four Tuscan municipalities in the province of Livorno—including Bibbona and Cecina—the Terratico di Bibbona DOC presents a curious anomaly in the region, currently recording zero verified producers. For its white wines, the appellation mandates at least 50% Vermentino while explicitly banning Traminer aromatico from its list of complementary grapes. Distinguishing itself from neighboring Tuscan appellations that rely on traditional tiered aging, Terratico di Bibbona eschews the standard 'riserva' designation entirely. Instead, its sole mandatory-aging category is Rosso Superiore, which requires at least 18 months of maturation, including 12 months in wood, starting from November 1st of the harvest year.
