Elba Rosso is a red wine primarily based on Sangiovese, locally Sangioveto, (60-100%) with permission to use additional, local red grapes (0-40%) and green grapes (max. 10%).
This is an honest and good wine. The color is clear, ruby red with a vinous aroma and an ample taste.
There is also an Elba Rosso Riserva with a higher alcohol concentration requirement and a longer aging period.
It's unknown where the name Abruzzo comes from, but after the fall of the Roman Empire, the region's land areas were subjected to a number of dynasties, and for several hundred years they were ruled from the south as a part of the Napoli kingdom.
