- Montecarlo DOC is located in the Tuscany region of central Italy, specifically in the province of Lucca. The area surrounds the historic town of Montecarlo, situated on a hill between the Lucca plain and the Valdinievole.
- The vineyards of Montecarlo benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea, providing cooling breezes that help maintain acidity in the grapes. The soil composition includes clay, sand, and limestone, which contribute to the complexity and minerality of the wines.
