Tosco's word
Two brothers from the same estate for two very distinct tables: the white at €13 wins on typicity (7.6 vs. 7.2) thanks to its blend of Procanico, Vermentino and Chardonnay and its finely honed freshness at 10-12 °C, perfect for your fish and seafood antipasti. The red, for its part, at €15, targets red meats, game and aged cheeses with its 70% Sangiovese and 30% Merlot aged in barrel, but its score gap is slight and its recognition just as absent. If you want a light and lively white, choose the Elba Bianco; for a structured and generous red, head for the Elba Rosso, depending on your menu and your mood of the moment.
