Nantropò Ansonica Passito IGT, Tasting notes:
Scents of ntense fruity, dried apricot and orange zest in evidence, notes of tropical fruits and flowers to complete the bouquet. On the palete has a dense and structured, decidedly pleasant and drinkable, by great wealth and complexity, balanced and very persistent.
Nantropò Ansonica Passito IGT
From the ansonica grapes of Capel Rosso, bathed in sunlight and squeezed between granite and the sea, comes the Nantropò Passito. These are extreme conditions that only “expert” vines over 80 years old can withstand and produce, even though with minimal quantities, an exceptional wine. The producer, the Fontuccia company, is one of the very few winegrowers on the island of Giglio. Heroic viticulture because their vineyards are small terraces on granite rocks overlooking the sea. The harvest is done by hand, as it was 80 years ago because even the use of tractors is impossible.
