Beyond its landmarks, Pisa offers a rich wine culture rooted in centuries of Tuscan tradition. Whether you’re dining in the city or exploring nearby vineyards, these local wines deliver bold flavors, history, and a true taste of the region.
Chianti Colline Pisane DOC
This lesser-known subzone of the famous Chianti region produces reds with fruity aromas and earthy depth. Often made from Sangiovese grapes, it pairs beautifully with traditional Pisan dishes like wild boar stew.
Montescudaio DOC Wines
Produced southeast of Pisa, Montescudaio wines include structured reds and fresh whites. Wineries here often welcome visitors for tastings, so consider adding a wine tour to your Pisa day trip plan.
Vermentino – Crisp White from the Coast
Fresh, floral, and lightly mineral, Vermentino is a coastal white that’s perfect with seafood or sipping on a sunny terrace. Look for bottles labeled “Toscana IGT” or “Costa Toscana.”
Vin Santo – Sweet Tuscan Dessert Wine
End your meal like a local — with a glass of amber-colored Vin Santo and cantucci (almond biscotti). It’s often homemade by small producers and available in Pisa’s rustic osterias and wine bars.
