The flagship wine of the estate, Vermentino IGP “Orto delle Fanciulle”, is a complex wine made from a CRU of Vermentino vines. These vines thrive in flat clay-iron-rich soils and are harvested in mid-September with on-vine overripening. The wine undergoes white vinification in steel tanks, with temperature control during fermentation. In winter, it undergoes continuous bâtonnage to enhance the aromas of the fine lees on which it rests. Bottled in the spring following the harvest, this cold-macerated Vermentino has a straw-yellow color. On the nose, it reveals floral aromas of orange blossom, hints of citrus, ripe fruit, and banana. On the palate, it is soft, savory, mineral, and persistent.
Vermentino is the one most commonly referred to as the ‘wine of the sea’, grown along the Tyrrhenian coasts from Liguria to northern Sicily.
Ansonica is an indigenous grape variety of the island of Elba. Known for preserving the island’s unique mineral structure, it benefits from a range of minerals rarely found in other Italian soils.
The jewel of the estate, the Vermentino IGP “Orto delle Fanciulle”, is a wine rich in complexity, crafted from a CRU of Vermentino vines.
The Elba Bianco DOC from Tenuta La Chiusa is a refined blend of Trebbiano, Ansonica, and Malvasia grapes, cultivated in granitic soils that lend the wine a pronounced minerality.
Elba Rosato DOC is crafted from carefully cultivated Sangiovese grapes on the estate’s clay-iron-rich soils.
It is the red wine that best tells the story of this land, primarily based on Sangiovese, a grape variety that embodies the winemaking tradition of Tuscany.
It represents the most authentic essence of Tuscan winemaking, reflecting the distinctive characteristics of maritime wines with a hint of saltiness.

The enchantment of nature and the allure of history just steps from the sea. All the essence of the island captured in the embrace of countryside and sea: at La Chiusa, we leave behind the more touristy and bustling side of Elba to immerse ourselves in an atmosphere from another time.
