The Consortium, a denomination, a territory, the wines and the wineries
The CONSORZIO VINI TERRE DI PISA was established at the end of 2018 with the aim of protecting and promoting the appellation of the same name and acting as a catalyst for the enhancement of quality wine production in Pisa.
The DOC established in 2011 was conceived to further define the special features of the territory through its wines, today it represents the real challenge for the Terre di Pisa. The denomination is characterized by a predominantly hilly landscape influenced by the sea, in which the vine is inserted and integrated into a unique eco-system, with vineyards alternating with woods, olive groves and arable land. This conformation has proved to be an ideal condition for both organic viticulture and viticulture with a low environmental impact, which a significant number of participating wineries have in common. The soil on which our vines are cultivated originates from the rise of the Pliocene seabed. Its clayey to loamy texture makes it particularly suitable for this type of cultivation, allowing an optimal water potential and a calcareous contribution, given by the large sediments of Pliocene shells and corals, which make this area complex and distinctive. The current regulations (in the process of being modified to include the categories white, rosé and vermentino) currently allow for two interpretations: TERRE DI PISA SANGIOVESE and TERRE DI PISA ROSSO,
Terre di Pisa offers naturalness and great tourism opportunities, and the wines of the DOC introduce us to this with increasing strength and determination.
