WINE DESCRIPTION
Cecilia Elba Ansonica is a delightful white wine from the beautiful island of Elba in Tuscany, Italy. Produced by Azienda Agricola Cecilia, a renowned winery that began its winemaking journey in 1990. This wine is crafted from the Ansonica grape variety, also known as Inzolia in other parts of Italy. The vineyards, with their sun-drenched slopes and mineral-rich soils, contribute to the wine's distinct character. The winemaking process involves careful grape selection and gentle pressing to preserve the delicate flavors. The wine is aged on the lees for six months in tank, which enhances its texture. The resulting wine is refreshing, with vibrant citrus notes and a hint of floral aromas.
