Wine Tasting and Visit to the Author's Winery
Let yourself be carried away on a journey through the flavors and aromas of the typical vine of the Island of Elba, much loved by Napoleon: The Aleatico and its variations.

We will walk among the rows of the vineyard stretching towards the Tuscan Archipelago and we will tell you the history of winemaking in Elba, captivating you with the legends of our Estate that hover around the beautiful nineteenth-century Villa.

We will visit the Author's Winery, designed by Archistar Tobia Scarpa, with a breathtaking view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and we will relax with the wine tasting guided with a sea view. The wines produced in our farm are: the Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine from Aleatico grapes; the Rosato delle Ripalte, the White Vermentino, the Red Alicante and the famous Aleatico Passito dell'Elba DOCG.

Pair the wines with typical Tuscan products, selected from local zero-kilometer producers, and immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of a private natural oasis with our wine tour!
