Between vineyards and archaeology from the Bolgheri coast to the Val di Cornia

The Tuscany of the Etruscan Coast is a natural itinerary that from the coast gradually enters a more intimate territory that combines the relaxed dimension of the vineyards facing the sea with the more stratified soul of the hills of the Val di Cornia, where nature, history and culture intertwine to uniquely mark a landscape dotted with medieval villages, ancient necropolis and thermal springs. Between Marina di Bibbona and San Vincenzo, the 'Bolgheri Coast' offers a landscape of tidy vineyards, pine forests and long sandy beaches that culminate in the Rimigliano Coastal Park, a protected area where dunes, Mediterranean maquis and paths overlooking the sea accompany walks and bike rides with a view that on clear days reaches as far as the Island of Elba. A few kilometres further south, the Gulf of Baratti, one of the most iconic corners of the coast, completes this unique scenario in which beauty and culture blend, but it is by moving inland that one appreciates even more the authenticity of the Val di Cornia and its hills. The beating heart of this area is Suvereto, whose ancient walls enclose a labyrinth of narrow streets, stone palaces, churches and picturesque corners that serve as the stage for SUBER - Suvereto Wine Festival (scheduled from 1 to 3 May), a widespread festival where winemakers, producers and artisans invade the cloisters and squares of the village, welcoming tourists, visitors and wine lovers in a convivial manner. Those travelling with children and looking for immersive experiences can stop off at the San Silvestro Archaeo-mineral Park in Campiglia Marittima, a place where one literally enters history by travelling through mining tunnels on board a small train and visiting museum spaces and a reconstructed medieval village.
