THE WINE The particular composition of the soil of the surrounding hills, the sweet climate and the perfect exposition to sun, represent an ideal setting for the Montecarlo vineyards: thanks to all this they only produce healthy, sugary, very perfumed grapes that confer a unique aroma. The colour is an intense straw yellow, the alcohol percentage is around 11.5 degrees.
The red wine production is also notable. D.o.c. since 1985, clear ruby red and with a dry and velvety taste. The "Colline lucchesi" wine (white and red), "doc" since '68, comes from the grapes of the vineyards grown in a wide area between the towns of Lucca, Capannori and Porcari. This wine, highly appreciated in the international market, was among the first in Italy to be awarded with the controlled origin denomination.
