Description
What kind of wine it is
Eliseo Rosso di Gualdo del Re is a still red wine with Typical Geographical Indication from Tuscany, made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Fermented in steel and aged in barrels, it is characterised by an intense ruby colour and offers a fruity bouquet with clear notes of red fruits and delicate spicy nuances. On the palate, it stands out for its lively and harmonious structure, supported by soft tannins that enhance its persistence.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from Suvereto, in a picturesque hillside amphitheatre facing the sea, directly opposite the Island of Elba. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of one hundred metres on clay soil, rich in stone and silt. These pedoclimatic conditions allow for excellent concentration in the bunches, giving the wine its characteristic solidity and a precise aromatic definition.
How it is produced
The production process involves alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Afterwards, the wine matures in third and fourth passage barrels for twelve months, a choice that smooths the tannic texture while preserving the integrity of the fruit. A further refinement in bottle for at least three months allows the bouquet to stabilise and the overall balance to be perfected before release.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1953 in the picturesque hillside amphitheatre of Suvereto, overlooking the Island of Elba, the Gualdo del Re estate skilfully combines vineyard restoration with modernisation. Under the passionate guidance of Mauro Gestri and the vision of oenologist Barbara Tamburini, the twenty-seven hectares of vineyards, cultivated using the spur-pruned cordon method, produce wines that are true masterpieces of balance. This rigorous commitment to quality, embodied by the Eliseo Rosso, has been rewarded with prestigious accolades, including 4 Bibenda bunches and 2 red stars from Veronelli.

The transition occurred whilst continuing along the path of excellence undertaken by Barbara Tamburini who, in the meantime, has become one of the most famous and recognised enologists in Italy and abroad.
The new business development program includes the restoration of some vineyards and the purchase of new plots. The recently acquired plots would be planted with massal selections of traditional varieties that resulted from extensive studies and analysis.
At the same time, modernization was organized for Il Ristorante, Il Casale and, especially, the Cellar, whose technical unit would be employed for a wider vineyard rationalization. Read more
