Cantine in Musica

Cantine in Musica: when wine meets music

Cantine in Musica is one of the most original offerings of the summer in Terricciola, a small municipality in the Province of Pisa nestled in the wine-growing hills of Tuscany, just a few kilometres from Pontedera and the Valdera area. The festival, curated by the Duo Reminescente, runs from late May to September and stops at a different local winery each time, selected from the most scenic spots in the municipality.

The idea behind the festival is as simple as it is refined: each evening pairs a wine tasting with a musical programme specifically designed for that glass. The pieces, composed and selected to accompany the wine's aromas, structure, and character, establish a true dialogue between sound and taste. The result is an immersive experience where music becomes a key to interpreting the wine, and the wine reveals new nuances to the listening experience.

The featured wineries

The heart of the festival lies in the wineries of the Terricciola area, which open their doors to the public to host the evenings. Participating estates include Pieve de' Pitti, Tenuta di Podernovo, Terre di Guidoreste, Sojana Wine in Soiana, and the Vallorsi winery, with the calendar closing in the evocative spaces of the Badia di Morrona. Each location adds its own landscape identity to the experience: vineyards, terraces, and ancient villages serve as a natural backdrop for the concerts.

Terricciola, land of wine

Terricciola has always been linked to wine culture: its hilly territory, well-suited to viticulture, is dotted with historic cellars and new wine-making ventures that have made quality their hallmark. It is no coincidence that the village is also known for its events dedicated to wine tourism, from the Notti del Vino (Wine Nights) to open cellar days. Cantine in Musica follows this path, enhancing local food and wine excellence through cultural moments capable of uniting residents, enthusiasts, and visitors.

A festival that engages with the territory

The event is part of the rich summer programme of the Municipality of Terricciola, which in the same period also hosts the Tursenum Festival, curated by the Mascagni Conservatory of Livorno, featuring signature concerts in the most evocative historical sites. Together, the two festivals create a summer where music meets the landscape and every event becomes an opportunity for discovery amidst nature, culture, and conviviality in the Pisan hills.
