Tasting Notes
From the island of Ischia off the coast of Campania in southern Italy. If I think of island life I think of eating fresh seafood on the beach with a glass of fresh, crisp, mineral white wine, and this white from Casa d'Ambra is exactly that. A beauty. - Chris L
Casa d'Ambra is located in one of the most unique terroirs of the wine world. Ischia is a small island off the coast of Naples where you'll find varieties like biancolella, forastera and uvarilla for whites; and piedirosso and guarnaccia for reds. Their vines are often terraced on the steep slopes of the island and can be found at sea-level or upwards of 700m asl, in a generally warm/hot maritime climate. The resulting white wines are particularly good partners with shellfish and seafood, with their light to moderate weight, fresh acidity and mineral backbone. They are definitely wines worth exploring.
