Guardistallo

In the quiet hills of Pisa province, Guardistallo's tiny community of fewer than 1,200 residents fosters an agricultural landscape where 15 protected denominations overlap. This small enclave is a primary homeland for Montescudaio DOC, a characterful wine restricted to just 7 local municipalities. The Mediterranean microclimate here coaxes deep expressions from Sangiovese and Cabernet grapes under this local designation, while also nurturing olives destined for Toscano IGP extra virgin olive oil. From these maritime-influenced hills, the land's ancient farming heritage yields exceptional bottles that define this compact corner of coastal Tuscany.
