What grows here
Sassetta
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Named after the historic lineage of the 15th-century Renaissance painter Stefano di Giovanni di Consolo, known as Il Sassetta, this forested Livorno municipality cultivates a distinct viticultural identity. Sassetta is one of only 6 municipalities permitted to produce the prestigious Val di Cornia DOC and Val di Cornia Rosso DOCG. These hills nourish vines that contribute to the area's 16 protected denominations, benefiting from a unique microclimate where maritime breezes meet woodland soils. Here, wine heritage is crafted with the same precision that the town's namesake artist applied to his early Tuscan masterpieces.
