- The Montescudaio DOC is situated in the province of Pisa, in the coastal area of Tuscany. It encompasses the municipalities of Montescudaio, Casale Marittimo, Guardistallo, Montecatini Val di Cecina, and Riparbella.
- The DOC benefits from a variety of microclimates due to its proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the influence of the Cecina River. These conditions contribute to the complexity and diversity of the wines produced in the region.
