This pretty blend of Aglianico, Montepulciano and Piedirosso delivers great intensity and persistency to the senses. The wine exhibits black cherry, forest berry, tobacco and black stone. Its structure is tight and firm and the wine could stand up to grilled prime ribs with a spicy barbecue sauce.

Here is a rich and luscious blend of Aglianico and Montepulciano with prominent aromas of black olive, tea, cherry, cassis and cola. The wine is ripe and succulent with soft oak shadings and would pair well with most meat dishes. This fun wine is made on the beautiful island of Ischia off the Campania coast.

Light and fragrant, this luminous white blend of Biancolella and Forastera offers mango and exotic fruit backed by drying notes of mineral and hay. The wine has lean, thin density but makes up for what it lacks in structure with its freshness.

This luminous white (made from the unknown Biancolella grape) from the beautiful island of Ischia offers pretty tones of stone fruit, melon, ripe citrus and almond. It makes an easy, informal impression and has a light, rather lean texture.
