Biancolella epitomises the heart of Ischian wine culture – an indigenous grape variety with a millennia-old tradition that grows almost exclusively on Ischia. Its existence documents the inseparable link between the island and the vine since the times of the ancient Greeks, when the first amphorae carried the precious wine as far as France. The four hectares of vineyards grow on the mineral-rich volcanic soil of Monte Epomeo at an altitude of 300 metres overlooking the sea. The green tuff stores the Mediterranean warmth and passes it on to the vines, while the salty sea breezes provide natural freshness and elegance. This unique combination of volcanic power and maritime mildness characterises its unmistakable character.

The Biancolella grape, the "queen of the Ischitanian grape varieties", is a genetically unique variety that has adapted perfectly to the extreme conditions of the volcanic island over the centuries. Its low production and high quality make it one of Campania's most valuable autochthonous treasures. Bright straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. Intense bouquet of peach and pear, interspersed with wild fennel and lemon blossom. Full-bodied and balanced on the palate, with delicate minerality and a characteristic almond finish – a wine of aristocratic purity with an unmistakably volcanic soul. SUPERIORE.DE
