Isola del Giglio

This rocky Tuscan island municipality in the Grosseto province, home to just 1,274 residents, rises from the Tyrrhenian Sea to shape a heroic maritime viticulture. The island's sun-drenched granite cliffs nurture the rare, sea-salted white grapes of the Ansonica Costa dell'Argentario DOC, a designation shared with only four neighboring territories. This unique microclimate also shapes the broader Maremma toscana DOC wines. In total, Isola del Giglio boasts 17 protected food and wine denominations, where steep terraced vineyards capture Mediterranean winds to yield wines defined by intense mineral salinity and ancient maritime heritage.
