Assouline”Wine & Travel: Mediterranean Islands” Book by Enrico Bernardo

The wine culture of the Mediterranean islands is a story of sun, salt, and centuries-old craft.From the volcanic soils of Sicily to the windswept vineyards of Corsica, from the quartziteand schist rock of Porquerolles to the sun-drenched hills of Majorca, each island offers itsown distinct terroir—shaped by rugged terrain, maritime breezes, and a particular climatethat cultivates grapes that produce complex blends. Wines here are bold yet nuanced:minerally Assyrtiko from Greece, floral Malvasia from the Aeolian Islands, spicy reds fromSardinia’s Cannonau vines, and the elegant Vermentinos of the northern coastlines. Butbeyond the bottle, the experience is equally inspiring: tastings held at seaside estates,in olive groves, or in the cool atmosphere of time-worn cellars carved from stone. Here,wine isn’t just a product of the land—it’s an expression of heritage, hospitality, and thesunlit soul of island life.
