Details and technical informations about Winery Imperatore's Isola d'Elba Elba Ansonica.
Discover the grape variety: Couderc
Simple, colourful and fruity reds with a deep ruby colour, supple tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, showing aromas of red fruits and discreet hybrid notes. Productive and resistant to phylloxera. Now marginal, it survives in a few heritage plots and French ampelographic collections, a witness to post-phylloxera hybridisation. French black hybrid variety obtained by Georges Couderc at the end of the 19th century.

Signature Ansonica as white king (Mediterranean native): delicate with white flowers, stone fruits, almond, apricot and saline iodine touch — dry or as golden passito. Sangiovese (min. 60%) in silky red (ripe red fruits, licorice, fine tannins).
The wine region of Tuscany
Kingdom of Sangiovese: upright reds with cherry, plum, dried herbs and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins. Fleshy, food-friendly Chianti Classico DOCG, deep long-ageing Brunello di Montalcino (spice, tobacco, ripe black fruit), elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. On the coast, Bolgheri crafts the opulent Cabernet- and Merlot-based 'Super Tuscans'. Some fresh white Vernaccia.
