Abstract
The paper overviews wine production, trade, and consumption in northern Tuscany’s coastal and inland areas from the 3rd century BC to the 6th century AD. Integrating new evidence from the villa at Aiano and the harbour context of Vada Volaterrana with legacy data related to unpublished or previous excavations allows analyzing the distribution of amphorae related to wine consumption in the ager Volaterranus and the coastal area bordering with ager Pisanus. Distribution patterns examined with settlements evolution, toponyms, inscriptions, and literary sources reveal how social networks impacted production, trade, and consumption dynamics over the longue durée, leading to modifications in landscape organization and management of resources.
