Wine Tasting and Visit to the Cantina d’Autore (Renowned Cellar)
Wine tasting with gastronomic pairings and visit to Cantina d'Autore delle Ripalte - from 60 Euro
Let yourself be carried away on a journey through the flavors and aromas of the typical vine of the island of Elba, so loved by Napoleon: Aleatico and its declinations.
We will walk between the rows of vines stretching towards the Tuscan Archipelago and we will tell you the story of winemaking in Elba, fascinating you with the legends of our estate that hover around the beautiful nineteenth-century villa.
We will visit the Cantina d’Autore, designed by Archistar Tobia Scarpa, with a breathtaking view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and relax with a guided wine tasting with sea view. The wines produced in our farm are: the Brut Spumante Rosato from Aleatico grapes; the Rosato delle Ripalte, the White Vermentino, the Red Alicante and the famous Aleatico Passito dell'Elba DOCG .
Match the wines with typical Tuscan products, selected in the area from zero km producers, and immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of a private natural oasis with our wine tour!
