What grows here
Certaldo
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the rolling clay-rich hills of the Val d'Elsa, where the medieval author Giovanni Boccaccio spent his final days, Certaldo's distinct geology shapes a prestigious agricultural legacy. This territory hosts 16 protected denominations, boasting local specialties like the robust Colli dell'Etruria Centrale DOC and Chianti DOCG. The unique microclimate of these Tuscan valleys fosters slow grape ripening, giving the wines their signature acidity. Currently, 3 verified producers operate directly within the municipality, including 1 estate open for cellar visits, allowing travelers to taste these historic flavors right where they are born.
