What grows here
Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the southern, hilly folds of the Pisa province, Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina is home to a tiny community of just over two thousand residents whose land shapes highly exclusive flavors. This rugged territory is one of only three municipalities authorized to produce the rare Montecastelli IGT wine, sharing its mineral-rich soils. Additionally, its craggy pastures feed the sheep behind Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP, a cheese limited to just 5 municipalities. These local specialties anchor a total of 15 protected denominations, mapping a unique microclimate where harsh Tuscan geology yields extraordinary gastronomic intensity.
