Small Islands Wines

Minor Islands Wines are authentic wines and producing them requires effort, they are expressions of the brilliant industriousness of the islander forced by nature to settle for what the environment offers. The island is a world in itself in which the different types of vines, present from remote times, have developed peculiar characteristics, miraculously adapting to the various climates and to the different geological situations. In the Minor Islands this selection was even harder, the results even more original. This project concerns wines produced on small islands throughout the Mediterranean.
