La Chiusa Elba Bianco is a white wine from Tenuta La Chiusa, a historic estate at Magazzini on the Gulf of Portoferraio, on the Tuscan island of Elba. The property takes its name from the wall that encloses its land, and its buildings and cellars date back to the late 1500s. Napoleon is said to have stayed at the estate during his time on the island.
The wine is made under the Elba Bianco DOC from vineyards that face the sea, where maritime breezes moderate the climate and give the fruit a distinctly mineral edge. The grapes are hand picked, gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperatures, then the wine rests on its lees in stainless steel with stirring through the winter.
In the glass it shows a light straw colour and aromas of white flowers, followed by fresh peach and citrus. The palate is fresh and lively, with bright acidity, medium body and a subtle saline note that speaks of its island origins.
