Mostly Sangiovese with a touch of Syrah, this Elba Rosso offers a sea-swept, mineral-laden spin on Super Tuscans.

A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Syrah grown in limestone-rich marl, grapes ferment for a week on the skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel, and the wine ages in stainless steel and rests in bottle prior to release.

The Cecilia Winery was established in 1990 thanks to the efforts of Giuseppe Camerini, Milanese engineer, industrialist, and artist. After visiting the Island for almost fifty years, he decided to develop his passion for viticulture and wine in the farmstead “Podere La Casina”.

They cover approximately 10 hectares and produce roughly 65,000 bottles a year. Currently the white vines are mainly trained with the Guyot system, while the red ones with the spurred cordon system.
