Along the Wine Route of the Pisan Hills , there is a place which is one of the most popular of Tuscany : Terricciola, the “City of Wine “ .
It ‘s not a coincidence that every second and third weekend in September since the 1960s the streets of this town host the traditional Festa dell’Uva e del Vino (Grape and Wine festival).
Other wine related dates are Calici di Stelle (Chalices of Stars) on 10 August, the night of San Lorenzo, and “Cantine Aperte” or Open Cellars (last Sunday in May).
Terricciola is a litte village in Valdera famous for its wine. It lies on a hill once known by the Etruscans. In its underground there is a complex of Etruscan tombs that a local association of Archaeologists is slowly restoring and opening.
