In a scenic location on the island of Capraia, with views of the sea and the TuscanArchipelago, organic wine estate for sale. The property was established in the early 2000s when the then-owner undertook a skillful restoration of the land, which had long been maintained by the “inmates” of the island’s prison. The terraces were restored, and over the years, approximately 5.0 hectares of vineyards were planted. The grape varieties are typical of this region of Tuscany (Aleatico, Vermentino, Sangiovese, Colorino, and Ciliegiolo) and yield approximately 20,000 bottles of wine per year.
