Description

The Elba Rosso DOC from Tenuta La Chiusa is a red wine that perfectly captures the authentic essence of the Island of Elba. Produced with a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes, complemented by minor local varieties, this wine enhances the unique characteristics of the Elban terroir.

Colored a ruby red with violet reflections, the Elba Rosso DOC features an intense aromatic bouquet, highlighted by notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, enriched with hints of aromatic herbs and a slight spicy touch achieved through a brief ageing in wooden barrels. On the palate, the wine displays a balanced structure with finely woven tannins that accompany a pleasant freshness and a persistent finish.

Ideal for pairing with a wide range of dishes, the Elba Rosso DOC pairs magnificently with grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses. It offers a complete taste experience, especially when served at a temperature of about 18-20°C.

The focus on sustainability and the use of responsible agricultural practices make this wine not only a pleasure for the palate but also an environmentally respectful choice. Tenuta La Chiusa, with its long history and dedication to quality, confirms through this Elba Rosso DOC its commitment to producing distinctive and memorable wines.

Winery history

The estate's origins date back to the late 16th century; the historic buildings and wine cellars were built at the end of the 1500s. The property is recognizable by the wall that surrounds it and by several historical episodes linked to the island, such as visits by Napoleon. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries the estate underwent multiple changes of management; online sources report transfers of ownership and renovations that restored the historic buildings and launched the modern agritourism activity.
