Montale

Montale, in the province of Pistoia, shares its name with the acclaimed Italian poet and painter Eugenio Montale, evoking an artistic precision mirrored in its agriculture. Here, 16 protected denominations thrive on mineral-rich Tuscan hillsides. Most notable is the spiced Mortadella di Prato IGP, produced in a restricted zone of just 4 municipalities. The same distinctive terroir feeds the vines for Colli dell'Etruria Centrale DOC, a wine shared by only 67 municipal territories. These strict geographical boundaries ensure that Montale’s cool northern breeze and historic soils yield uniquely expressive flavors.
