He is known for old-vine collecting, with over two hundred parcels vinified and blended separately each year, and for artist-designed labels. His white wines, made on the island of Giglio, grew out of his childhood summers there and a long study of the island’s Ansonica vines.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bibi Graetz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Ansonica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four high-altitude, terraced vineyards on Giglio: Serrone, Radice, Scopeto, and Olivello.
