Located between Pisa and Volterra, Badia di Morrona is more than just a winery; it's a journey through Tuscan history and viticulture. The estate's origins trace back to an ancient monastery founded in 1089, with the Gaslini Alberti family acquiring the property in 1939. Today, the estate spans 600 hectares, including 110 hectares of vineyards, 40 hectares of olive groves, and woodlands of cypress, oak and holm oak. Visitors can explore the multi-level winery, witnessing a blend of ancient traditions and modern techniques. The tour includes the historic barrel cellar, aging rooms, and a tasting room where guests can sample five exceptional wines paired with local specialties. Red grapes, especially Sangiovese, dominate the vineyards, but the estate also cultivates Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Vermentino and Chardonnay. Terricciola, known as the 'City of Wine', provides a serene escape with its rolling hills and vineyards. The village has Etruscan origins and a rich history of battles between Pisa and Florence. Today, it's a charming town where visitors can experience the slow pace of Tuscan life, explore local churches, and enjoy traditional festivals.
