Acquabona's Elba Rosso Riserva DOC, named Camillo Bianchi, is produced from grapes grown on the well-exposed Podere La Cote di Siterno near Lacona, mainly Sangiovese (around 70%) with Merlot and a touch of Syrah. Aged at least 24 months in oak tonneaux followed by at least 6 months in bottle.

Sommelier's Note

Camillo Bianchi is Acquabona's statement wine — patient oak aging gives it a depth few island reds can match.

New to wine?

Elba's most serious red — best approached after trying Le Cote, when you're ready for more structure.

Food Pairings

Ideal with red meats and game, roasted or stewed, and with well-aged cheeses.

When to drink it

Special dinners, game and roasted meat courses, cellar-worthy occasions

Terroir & Winemaking

Intense ruby with light garnet reflections; broad, persistent aromas of very ripe red fruit and Mediterranean scrub. Full, enveloping, and rightly tannic on the palate, thanks to extended oak and bottle aging.
