Biancolella: the luminous essence of the Ischian coasts
In the heart of the Mediterranean, on an island that seems to emerge from the waters with timeless charm, Biancolella is born, a white wine that embodies the sunny soul and volcanic character of Ischia. This native grape variety, which has found its ideal habitat on the island's steep terraces, is a symbol of heroic viticulture and Campanian winemaking tradition.
Biancolella is a variety with ancient origins, probably introduced by the Greeks who colonized the island, contributing to the establishment of a wine culture that has been perpetuated for centuries. The vineyards, often situated on steep slopes, are caressed by the sea breeze and benefit from a unique microclimate, helping them to develop grapes of extraordinary quality.
The production of Biancolella follows traditional methods that respect the intrinsic characteristics of the grape variety. The grapes, harvested manually to preserve their integrity, are vinified with care to enhance the aromas and freshness that distinguish them. The result is a wine that presents itself with a bright straw-yellow color, anticipating a sensory experience that captures the essence of Ischian nature.
On the nose, Biancolella offers a delicate and fascinating aromatic bouquet, dominated by floral notes of broom and wisteria, alongside fruity hints of pear and green apple. On the palate, it reveals itself as a wine of great freshness and pleasantness, with a light and harmonious body that releases flavors of citrus and mineral nuances, typical of its volcanic soil origin.
This white wine is perfect for accompanying seafood dishes, such as fresh shellfish, fish risottos, and crustacean soups, but it is also suitable to be enjoyed on its own as an elegant and refreshing aperitif. Its versatility and lightness make it ideal for hot summer days when one seeks a travel companion that expresses authenticity and refinement.
