Description
Vineyard: The autochthonous Biancolella vine has a thousand-year history on the island of Ischia and represents the excellence of our viticulture. With a surface area of eight hectares, it is the most widely cultivated variety on our estate. The Guyot-trained vineyards are located in different areas of the municipality of Forio, at an altitude ranging from 150 to 300 s.l.m. The density is 5,000 vines/hectare. The grapes are rigorously hand-picked from the end of September to mid-October, in perfect ripeness. Vinification. The harvested grapes are destemmed and softly crushed. The must thus obtained is statically decanted at a temperature of 8-10 °C and, with the help of selected yeasts, fermented in stainless steel silos at a controlled temperature (12 °C) for about 15 days. Refinement on the noble lees continues in stainless steel, with a long series of batonnage at intervals, in order to obtain a complex and delicately perfumed wine. We await the end of February for bottling. Tasting notes and recommended pairings The wine has a luminous straw yellow colour with elegant greenish highlights. The nose is floral, fruity, classy and inviting, with notes of yellow peach, banana and broom flowers. Intense and velvety on the palate, dry and mineral, with a typically almondy finish. Served at 8-10°C, it pairs well with appetisers with sweet and sour sauces, fish tempura, vegetable creams and white meats such as veal or poultry. We recommend it in combination with the traditional dish of the island, rabbit all'Ischitana.
