Usiglian del Vescovo is nestled near Palaia in the picturesque Valdera hills. This stunning estate, surrounded by lush landscapes, benefits from its proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, which creates an ideal environment for viticulture and enhances the estate's natural beauty.
The origins of Usiglian del Vescovo date back to 1078 when Matilda di Canossa gifted the estate to the Bishops of Lucca. The first recorded wine production occurred in 1083, marking the beginning of a long winemaking tradition. Over the centuries, the estate has witnessed significant historical events and transformations, all while maintaining its connection to the enchanting Tuscan countryside. Today, the vineyards span 160 hectares, with 25 hectares dedicated to vines and 15 hectares to olive groves, rich in marine fossils that tell the story of the land.
At Usiglian del Vescovo, a variety of grape types flourish, including Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay, and Viognier. These grapes are cultivated under optimal conditions, thanks to the region's favorable microclimate characterized by regular rainfall, consistent winds, and warm summers cooled by cooler nights. The unique soils, rich in marine fossils, contribute to the distinct flavors of the wines. Visitors can enjoy a selection of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines, each reflecting the estate's rich heritage and the beauty of Tuscany.

The best organic wines! And first of all, the gin: a dream. We'll be back tomorrow for wine tasting and to look at the cellars. Some of the wine is stored in oak barrels for up to 24 months😋

The vineyards are magnificent and the quality of the wine, the only flaw is the road that leads there, unfortunately it is unpaved and full of potholes, it is still worth a visit, but I do not recommend going down towards the town of MARTI, unfortunately I came across a truck and had to reverse many times...

Good wines and most enjoyable & informative afternoon spent. Elena (who managed our wine tasting in the cellar) shared with us details about the wines of the area and ensuring that our visit to Tuscany will remain a highlight of our visit to Italy.
