Cantina Mazzarri
Trebbiano Toscano · Ansonica · Vermentino · Moscato
About this wine
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.
An easy, food-friendly island white — a gentle first step into Elba's wines.
Sommelier's Note
"The Moscato splash is the whole story here — it lifts an otherwise straightforward Elba Bianco into something with real perfume."
Food Pairings
A natural match for Elba's seafood cuisine — grilled fish, octopus salad, and shellfish pasta — thanks to its bright acidity and light body.
When to drink it
Seaside lunches, aperitivo, and casual seafood dinners.

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.
ルベオ・デル・コッレ
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.
