About this wine
Elba Bianco Passito is Cantina Mazzarri's white dessert wine, made under the Elba DOC white-passito rules from Ansonica, Moscato, Trebbiano Toscano and/or Vermentino dried after harvest to concentrate sugars. Past vintages made largely from Procanico (Trebbiano) and Riminese grapes have shown notes of apricot, ginger, stewed peach and broom, with a rich, sapid character.
A gentler introduction to passito wines than the estate's red Aleatico — bright dried-fruit sweetness.
Sommelier's Note
"Less famous than the estate's Aleatico, but arguably the more food-versatile of Mazzarri's two passiti."
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with fruit tarts, almond pastries, and mild blue or aged cheeses.
When to drink it
Dessert pairing, afternoon tea, or a light after-dinner pour.

Aleatico Passito dell'Elba
SweetAleatico
Cantina Mazzarri's flagship wine: Aleatico Passito dell'Elba DOCG, made from the aromatic red Aleatico grape, hand-harvested in late August/early September and dried before pressing to concentrate sugar and aroma. Elba's Aleatico Passito is Tuscany's eighth (and one of its smallest) DOCG appellations. Vintages have shown a garnet color with jammy nuances, notes of fig, blueberry and blackberry, and a long finish of rosemary and resin.

Elba Rosso Vignanuova
RedSangiovese · Cabernet Franc
Vignanuova is Cantina Mazzarri's Elba Rosso DOC from the estate's newer vineyard plantings, blending roughly 90% Sangiovese with 10% Cabernet Franc. It shows a bright, luminous ruby color and an intense, complex nose of red fruit with a light spicy edge, finishing fresh and savory on the palate.

Elba Rosso Vignavecchia
RedSangiovese · Cabernet Franc
Vignavecchia is Cantina Mazzarri's Elba Rosso DOC sourced from the estate's oldest vines, blending Sangiovese with a smaller portion of Cabernet Franc. Compared to the Vignanuova bottling, it draws on more mature vineyard sites and shows a similarly bright ruby color with a fresh, savory palate.
ラ・リザッカ
La Risacca
WhiteTrebbiano Toscano · Ansonica · Vermentino · Moscato
La Risacca is Cantina Mazzarri's Elba Bianco DOC, a field blend of Trebbiano Toscano, Ansonica and Vermentino from the estate's vineyards in Lacona, finished with a small addition of aromatic Moscato vinified separately and blended back in before bottling. Named after the risacca (the surf) that washes the shore just below the vines, it is a fresh, dry white built for easy, everyday drinking on the island of Elba.

Rubeo del Colle
RedSangiovese
Rubeo del Colle is Cantina Mazzarri's IGT Toscana Rosso, sold alongside the estate's Elba DOC/DOCG range. It shows a violet-ruby color with a complex nose opening to notes of cinnamon and quinine, and an enveloping palate with a touch of balanced sweetness — likely reflecting a partial-appassimento style consistent with the estate's focus on passiti wines. Note: the grape composition is not independently confirmed beyond a single secondary source citing Sangiovese; treat this attribution with some caution.
