Montecarlo, a stunning town a few kilometres from Lucca, had been used in the past as a defensive bastion to protect the city-state and the surrounding valley from the attacks of the Republics of Florence and Pisa. Not only was Montecarlo known for its former military uses and for its historical and artistic beauties, but also as the land of the finest D.O.C. red wines – a designation obtained in 1969 – and the prestigious D.O.P. extra virgin olive oil. In fact, it is located on the famous Wine and Oil Road of Lucca, on the remains of the ancient Vivinaia.
