Ischia Biancolella DOC 2024

  The Ischia Biancolella from Casa d'Ambra in Ischia, appears in the glass in a light straw yellow with golden reflections, reflecting the sunny location of the vineyards on the volcanic island. The nose reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and ripe yellow fruits such as pears and peaches, complemented by a subtle mineral note that comes from the volcanic soils of Ischia. Particularly noteworthy is the historic Biancolella grape variety, which has been cultivated on the island for centuries and is closely linked to the tradition and identity of the Casa d'Ambra winery. This wine reflects the uniqueness of the vineyards, which thrive on slopes with optimal sun exposure and fresh sea breezes, allowing the grapes to develop a balanced aroma and lively freshness.

On the palate, Ischia Biancolella is lively, fresh, and harmonious, with a clear, balanced acidity that elegantly supports the fruity and floral notes. The mineral structure of the soil gives the wine depth and a pleasant length on the finish, making it suitable both as an elegant aperitif and as an accompaniment to light fish and seafood dishes. Each bottle of this Biancolella is an expression of the long-standing winemaking tradition of the island of Ischia and testifies to the precision and passion with which Casa d'Ambra crafts its characterful white wines. - Gerardo [TS10/25]
