Elba Rosso Riserva DOC uses the same grapes as in the regular Elba Rosso, namely Sangiovese, locally Sangioveto (60-100%), with permission to use additional local, red grapes (0-40%) and green grapes (max. 10%).
The color ranges from ruby to garnet red, and it has a good, intense and vinous aroma. The taste is dry, ample and balanced.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years, at least 12 months of which must be in oak barrels and 6 months in the bottle.
A fine wine with red meat.
The Molise region has historically been so neglected that you can hardly find the origin of its name, beyond that it's believed to have originated from the Middle Ages, where a Normann family, the Moulins, owned large portions of the area as a county.
