Solsiden del Giglio, Bibi Graetz, Toscana

Solsiden del Giglio is produced by Bibi Graetz with Ansonica grapes from Isola del Giglio in the southern corner of Toscan Archipelago.

Ansonica is one of the white grapes that, with increasing attention, will stand on it's own feet in Toscany.

From Grosseto to Monte Argentario is the perfect land for Ansonica grape. Ansonica is specially linked to the seaside areas and the islands: Elba, Giglio, Sardinia and Sicily, where it's known as Inzuliao. Ansonica has a tradition and is now promoted with encouraging results by a growing number of small scale producers along the Argentario coast. In Giglio Island. Ansonoco, as the grapes is called locally, stand on small terraces with a sheer drop down to the sea, still dotted with stone wall builduings, the Palmenti, buildt by the islanders between sixteenth and seventeeth century and intended for grape pressing which took place on site due to transport problems.

There has been a guideline in place since 1995, which, having recognised the history and the uniqueness of the wine and vine, established the DOC Ansonica Costa de l'Argentario, enforcing the use of no less than 80% Ansonica grapes in production.

Solsiden del Giglio is 100% Ansonica grapes from Isola del Giglio. It goes wonderfully with shellfish and seafood; a crisp wine with delicate aromas that recall flowers and citrus fruit, with a light body, it is perfect with fish throughout the meal.....

The Isola del Giglio lies cradled by warm sea in the southern corner of the Toscan Archipelago.

Mild climate, unspoilt nature and crystal clear, emerald coloured water
offers perfect condition for this Giglio wineyard.
