A brilliant CalItal (yes, I said it) blend of Vermentino, Falanghina, Biancolella and Fiano from one of the kings of CalItal (Unti).
Fragrant (lemon ice, lemon verbena) and oh so refreshing (yellow flowers, fresh white melon). Delivers way more elegance and length than you’d expect from a simple porch wine.

Aromatic and lively. Phenolic yet salty. Nice. — 2 months ago
The 2020 Bianco, an equal-parts blend of Biancolella and Forastera, opens slowly in the glass, as crushed stone gives way to a flinty mix of dusty dried flowers, incense and pear nectar. It fills the palate with rich, glycerol-like textures, as notes of candied lime and ripe apple give way to honeyed inner florals. Residual acids keep the experience lively and fresh through the finale, as hints of tropical citrus and minerals linger. I’m craving a little more energy on the palate; however, this is a gorgeous, if slightly decadent, Ischia Bianco. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Green Apple, stone pebbles, and the sea. Good mineral Italian white! — 4 years ago
What an astonishing wine!
A fresh, enticing nose - white flowers, underripe peach, a bit of green mirabelle plums and, in the backdrop, amazing limestone minerality, crushed seashells, saline notes. Amazing purity here. Very Chablis’esque.
Beautiful mouthfeel with great depth & precision. Juicy, fresh, with white peach and lemony acidity. Incredible length and presence - this just goes on forever - salty, juicy, fresh & pure.
This the very first serious white from central Italy I’ve ever had. Wow!

Lot of lemon curd and almond (from the falanghina) and good salinity (from the biancolella). Really acidic and mineral wine - def not for everyone. Long finish with an almost zesty finish. — 2 years ago

This is terrific. Nice blend of two off two lesser known grapes - 60% falanghina and 40% biancolella. Im obsessed with the pineapple aromas, lemon zest, and strong scents reminding me of sandcastles and seashores. It’s fresh, zippy, and crisp. — 8 months ago
