Rare Wines. From Giglio to Capraia, utopian productions from the small Tuscan islands

The wines of the small islands, if made properly, respecting the grape variety and the territory, are loaded with charm. The ones we present to you this week, in addition to being rare, very rare wines, are two jewels that come from Isola del Giglio and the island of Capraia. Ours is a heartfelt invitation to travel. The first is the fruit of a small parcel of 7,000 metres planted with ansonica and other local varieties.

It is produced in a simple and artisanal way by Massimo Piccin of Podere Sapaio and expresses all the solar and iodized strength of an old vineyard. The second story tells us about a red, made from Grenache grapes. Here the protagonists are Francesco with his wife Gianna and his father Stefano de La Mursa. In love with the slow life and in contact with nature typical of this island, they produce a few labels of rare charm, from just over half a hectare of vineyard.
