Some of the best farming on Earth is conducted by families. Perhaps there's more investment in the quality of your crop when you've spent hours bickering and laughing with your siblings over the best pruning style. 
The Jasci family of Abruzzo personally participates in every step of their viticulture, making this a true "family crafted" wine as well as an eco-conscious one.Since 1980, the Jasci grapes have been certified organic by the Soil and Health Association, which guarantees both the organic production of their grapes as well as all of the winemaking processes in their modern "organic architecture" winery facility. All of these measures, the family feels, preserve the genuineness of the fruits and ensure that future generations of Jascis will be able to bicker among those vines. Look for fresh and "springy" flavors of white flowers, fresh white stone fruits, and hints of salted almonds.
Off the western coast of Italy lies the island of Sardinia, where grape varietals indigenous to the island and unique winemaking practices have been (thankfully) preserved. And at the southern end of this island lies the Argiolas estate winery, where oenologist Giacomo Tachis crafts what Robert Parker called "a reference point" for Sardinian wines. "Simply put," Parker said, "I was blown away by the quality of the value-priced wines I tasted from Argiolas and I can't recommend them enough, particularly for readers who haven't yet discovered the uniqueness of the island's wines."
