The typical wines of Elba Island: aleatico, raisin wine, vermentino and rosé
The wine project resulted in the planting of a vineyard of 16.5 hectares in size. Much of the land is dedicated to the cultivation of the typical grape variety of Elba Island: Aleatico. The grapes are used for the production of Aleatico Passito dell'Elba (5,000 half bottles) and Aleatico Rosato (about 18,000 bottles) and Brut Rosé sparkling wine (10,000 bott.).
A very small production of Grappa (about 300 bottles) is also distilled from the pomace of the same grapes, thanks to the skillful work of Vittorio Capovilla and his renowned Distillery.
The "Gorgaccio" vineyards, with eastern exposure, and the "Pascoli Alti" ("High Pastures") vineyards at 350 m above sea level, where the climate is cooler, produce "Bianco delle Ripalte" (about 25,000 bottles), characterized by the Vermentino grape variety. A fragrant wine with a strong flavor and excellent sapidity.

"Rosso delle Ripalte" is made from Alicante (Grenache) and Carignan grapes. These grape varieties are common to the entire Mediterranean basin and are well adapted to the arid and hot climate of the island of Elba. The result is truly extraordinary: a "different" red, with great character, harmonious and surprisingly elegant that is very well suited to the seafood cuisine typical of the coast. Alicante grapes grow in 4 hectares of vineyards, with a production of around 15,000 bottles per year.
In the most favorable years and with the best grapes, a few thousand bottles of Bianco Mediterraneo (vermentino grapes with added fiano) and Rosso Mediterraneo (pure Alicante grapes from the oldest vineyard) are produced.
