Cenatiempo, Ischia Bianco Biancolella Campagna 2024 750ml

Cenatiempo Ischia Bianco Biancolella — Campania 2024

Ischia is a volcanic island in the Bay of Naples, and Cenatiempo is its most dedicated custodian. The family has farmed the island’s steep, terraced vineyards for generations, working with indigenous varieties that exist almost nowhere else on earth. Biancolella is the soul of Ischia Bianco — an ancient grape of uncertain origin that thrives in the island’s volcanic soils, drawing minerality and salinity from the earth beneath it. Cenatiempo farms sustainably, preserving the island’s viticultural heritage while producing wines of remarkable freshness and precision. This is the kind of wine that makes you understand why people have been drinking from this island for over 2,500 years.

The nose is bright and aromatic: citrus blossom, white peach, lemon zest, and a distinctive volcanic minerality that is the unmistakable signature of Ischia. On the palate, the wine is crisp and saline, with a clean, focused acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. Light-bodied and utterly refreshing — a wine built for seafood, sunshine, and the table.
