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. Â
The first to colonise the island gastronomically were the Romans, who brought many of today’s agricultural cultures along with the famous grapevine. Â
Elban cuisine is synonymous with simplicity and quality of raw materials, which are produced on a small scale. Â
Don’t miss the fish-based recipes, the true soul of the island.   Â
Try the Stoccafisso alla Riese, Cacciucco all’elbana, and Palamita sott’olio. Â
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. Â
Not to be missed are the Aleatico DOCG, Elba Bianco and Rosso, Ansonica and Moscato.Â
