Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities

Recognized as a DOCG since 2011, Val di Cornia Rosso is crafted by 24 verified producers across six Tuscan municipalities, including Campiglia Marittima.

Uniquely, the base wine does not have a mandated aging duration; instead, it is restricted by a fixed release date of May 1st of the second year after harvest. This dry, full-bodied red achieves a minimum alcohol level of 12.5%.
