The Biancolella of Casa d'Ambra is born on the west and east sides of the island of Ischia. The grapes come from small properties of usual suppliers, in fact the company buys annually from 150 island producers, in addition to making wine from the hectares of the property. We are between 100 and 500 metres above the sea; on the island the soils, the famous green tuff of Ischia, are volcanic of medium texture, rich in potassium and phosphorus. The grapes, Biancolella 85%, Forastera, San Lunardo and Uva Rilla for the remaining 15% (Casa d'Ambra works hard on the conservation and recovery of the old local varieties) are harvested in mid-September and traditionally vinified in white with control temperature.

BIANCOLELLA CASA D'AMBRA: TASTING

The Biancolella by Casa d'Ambra has a bright straw yellow colour; the nose is a basket of summer fruit with notes of ripe melon, apricots and yellow plums, then spontaneous aromatic herbs, broom and brackish wind. The mouth is decidedly savoury and fresh, with a long and almond finish. Perfect wine for a historic dish of the legendary Luciano Zazzeri: marinated mackerel with caramel and ricotta mousse.
