Biancolella Ischia DOC Cenatiempo 2022

Biancolella Ischia DOC is a white wine made by the Cenatiempo winery, a cellar capable of enhancing the terroir of the Campania island. It is obtained from the single-variety vinification of grapes of the native Biancolella variety, grown in various Ischia municipalities, including Barano and Serrara Fontana. What makes the island's soils so special is the composition of the substrate, which derives from volcanic origins and gives the grapes minerality. The plots are located between 50 and 300 meters above sea level and therefore enjoy a remarkable diversity in terms of sun exposure. The manual harvest extends from mid-September to the end of October. In the cellar, destemming of the bunches is followed by fermentation in cement tanks with temperature monitoring. The subsequent refinement is divided between steel and concrete, to end with a month of rest in the bottle. Biancolella Ischia DOC is a white wine capable of surprising as soon as it is bottled, but also after 2-3 years of aging in the bottle.
