Bianco dell'Empolese (DOC)

ianco dell'Empolese is produced in the Tuscan vineyards of Empoli, Cerreto Guidi, Fucecchio, Vinci, Montelupo Fiorentino, Capraia and Limite, all of which are situated along the River Arno. It is one of the more recent Tuscan D.O.C. whites, although there has always been a long tradition of winemaking in this area. In fact, the wines of Cerreto Guidi, where the Medici built one of their most beautiful villas, and Vinci have been appreciated in Florence for quite a few centuries. In 1989, the efforts of several small and medium-sized winegrowers, who had been working hard to further improve the quality of their wines, were crowned with an official D.O.C. appellation. The number of winegrowers who choose to follow the strict D.O.C. regulations has been growing steadily ever since that date.
