We will tell you the story of winemaking on Elba, enthralling you with the legends of our estate surrounding the beautiful 19th-century villa. During the tour, you will visit the Cantina d'Autore, designed by architect Tobia Scarpa, and enjoy a guided wine tasting with a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The farm produces the following wines: Brut Spumante Rosato made from Aleatico grapes; Rosato delle Ripalte, White Vermentino, Red Alicante, and the famous L'Aleatico Passito dell'Elba D.O.C.G.
With our wine tour, you can pair the wines with typical Tuscan products and immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of a private natural oasis. Enjoy the view of gently rolling hills and vineyards lined with beautiful cypress trees in the best place to grab a bottle or two!
