What grows here
Marciana
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Marciana clings to the granite slopes of western Elba, where the island's shores meet the winds of the Corsica Channel within the protected Tuscan Archipelago National Park. This dramatic maritime microclimate shapes the viticulture behind 16 protected denominations. Here, steep vineyards yield the grapes for Elba Aleatico Passito DOCG, a rare sweet red wine, and the versatile Elba DOC, both produced in a tight zone of just 7 island municipalities. The marine air and rugged soils infuse these wines with a distinct, saline character born from this specific island sanctuary.
