Full description
Are we sure Napoleon was sorry to go into exile on the Island of Elba? !
Discover the beauty and flavours of this region with a tour of the Tenuta delle Ripalte winery and vineyards, followed by a tasting of three delicious local wines. To accompany them, there’ll be some delicious samples of local specialities!
If all this were in store for us, we’d choose exile without a second thought!
What we will do
The meeting point is at Tenuta delle Ripalte in Capoliveri, in the province of Livorno, set within a private estate in the south-east of the Island of Elba. We will be welcomed by our guide, who will be ready to take us on a tour of this winery.
We’ll begin the experience with a stroll through the vineyard rows, where we’ll hear about the history of winemaking on Elba, with a particular focus on Aleatico (the island’s signature grape variety) and the estate’s legends linked to the nineteenth-century villa.
We will then head to the modern, designer winery, designed by architect Tobia Scarpa and part of the Toscana Wine Architecture Circuit. Here, we will tour the premises and learn more about the winemaking process and the drying of the grapes for Aleatico.
We will then relax with a guided tasting overlooking the sea, featuring three glasses of the estate’s wines: the Spumante Brut Rosato made from Aleatico grapes, the Bianco Vermentino and the Rosso Alicante. To accompany these, we’ll be served samples of local produce: Elban pecorino cheeses of various types and ages, a selection of Tuscan cured meats and artisanal schiaccia. We’ll also have the chance to taste the honey and the Tuscan PDO extra virgin olive oil produced at the winery.
The experience will last approximately 2 hours in total.
