Le Sughere

The Le Sughere del Montefico farm is located in the eastern part of the Island of Elba. It has 35 hectares whose vineyards are located on hilly terraces of a soil rich in minerals, sloping down to the sea on one side and close to the wooded mantle of cork trees, Mediterranean scrub that covers Mount Fico on the other. This double exposure to two different climates gives the wines aromas and flavors that reach their maximum expression in the passito wines.


I discovered this winery thanks to a friend who had returned from Elba. I tasted the red elba and the ansonica dell’elba. Both are very good with each his particularity. The Red produced with 100% Sangiovese grapes has a fresher body than the classic products with the grape of the same name. It retains its fruity flavor. The white, on the other hand, is produced with ansonica grapes and has a marked sapidity given by the minerality given by the soils that make this wine lovable. Rich in sweet and delicate flavors. Both have aging potential, especially white, when kept in optimal conditions.
