Fonteblanda between Coast, Wine and Etruscan History

If you would like to combine the coast, wine and early history during your holiday in Italy, Fonteblanda offers several clearly distinct points of interest. The town combines the beach connection of Spiaggia dell’Osa with a winery in its own hamlet and with archaeological and historical destinations in the immediate and wider surrounding area. This allows you to take different interests into account when choosing your stay, without reducing Fonteblanda to just one travel theme.

Wine and Regional Products

The Rascioni e Cecconello winery is located in the Fonteblanda hamlet on Strada Provinciale 56 di San Donato. With advance reservation, Rascioni e Cecconello offers Ciliegiolo tastings with typical regional products. This makes wine a concrete part of your travel planning: you can specifically schedule a tasting if regional products and the distinctive characteristics of Ciliegiolo are among your interests.

Beaches and Landscapes

Spiaggia dell’Osa is located in the Località Osa in Fonteblanda and represents the town’s clearest maritime connection. The beaches of Cala Di Forno and Tantulli Ulisse are also located in the surroundings of Fonteblanda. This landscape setting is complemented by Mount Poggio Pian di Betto, which is likewise located in the vicinity of Fonteblanda. If, in addition to the sea, you would also like to include landscapes with a different character, this mountain is one of the region’s further points of interest.

Archaeological Traces from Prehistory to Antiquity

The Talamonaccio archaeological area preserves evidence of a Neolithic prehistoric settlement, as well as evidence of settlements from the Bronze Age. In adjoining areas of the archaeological site, ceramics and household objects dating from the 11th to the 8th century BC were found. The Etruscan temple of Talamonaccio was built in the 4th century BC. This chronological span makes the site interesting for anyone who wishes to view historical landscapes not only through individual structures, but also through long lines of development.
