Aulla

Historically guarding the strategic river valleys of Tuscany's northernmost Lunigiana territory, Aulla acts as a natural corridor where unique microclimates thrive. This geographical crossroads shapes 18 protected food and wine denominations overlapping within its borders. The damp chestnut forests and floral alpine slopes of this Massa-Carrara enclave yield the highly prized Miele della Lunigiana DOP, a distinctive honey born from local acacia and chestnut blooms. Meanwhile, the local hillsides foster the vines behind the mineral-forward Val di Magra IGT, reflecting a rugged terroir shaped by mountain soils.
