FOOD AND WINE ITINERARIES

Elba’s food and wine culture has its roots in the distant past, with many peoples with their customs and traditions.  

The first to colonise the island gastronomically were the Romans, who brought many of today’s agricultural cultures along with the famous grapevine.  

Elban cuisine is synonymous with simplicity and quality of raw materials, which are produced on a small scale.  

Don’t miss the fish-based recipes, the true soul of the island.    

Try the Stoccafisso alla Riese, Cacciucco all’elbana, and Palamita sott’olio.  

Wine lovers will find in the island’s vineyards a true concentration of history, tradition and quality.

Produced on a very small scale (production has gone from 3,000 hectares of cultivated land to just 200), the island’s vines retain all their character and strong, traditional flavour.  

Not to be missed are the Aleatico DOCG, Elba Bianco and Rosso, Ansonica and Moscato.
