If you have been to the famous Ischia Island (or the lesser-known Ponza Island a little north of Ischia), you have certainly tasted a glass of Biancolella as a house white wine at that restaurant on the beach...
This Biancolella here, however, is no house wine.
A very interesting grape, which, as many others, grows well only with a very specific soil, wind and weather condition. Casale del Giglio produces its Biancolella with grapes from their vineyards located on the dramatic slopes of the Ponza Island.
It is a golden yellow wine, smooth yet crisp. It shows notes of citrus, honeysuckle, jasmin, tropical fruits and tarragon at the nose. The typical minerality (iodine) of the grape is very well integrated with stone fruit on the palate. A honeycomb note in the long finish makes it truly unique.
Grape: Biancolella
Pairing: Fried calamari and shrimp, Dover sole with butter-caper sauce, lobster sauce pasta dishes.
Appellation: Lazio IGT, Italy
