Region: Italy, Campania, Ischia.
Score: 97 DM.
"An astonishing breakthrough this year for this wine, one of a small and dwindling number of 'heroic' whites produced against dissuasive physical odds on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. It's made from the indigenous Biancolella grape variety which few of our judges had ever tasted before - but its golden colour, almost spritzy style, haunting aromas of wild flowers and fragrant scented hay, and its mouthfilling, complex flavour which seem to hint at celery and fennel as well as quince and medlar captivated everyone who tasted it. A unique, cultural wine of memorable, stealthy charm." Decanter Magazine, Decanter World Wine Awards, Jun 2018
Provenance: The Bijou Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $25
