From a tiny island off of Naples, this blend of Biancolella & Forastera has a bright expressive nose of brine, citrus and fresh wildflowers. The palate displays lime peel with a touch of herbs and intense minerality from the volcanic soils of nearby Mount Epomeo.
The winemakers of this volcanic island are referred to as angeli matti – crazy angels – due to the extreme conditions they face in growing and harvesting grapes on the steep, rocky terraces. History has it that the label was hand drawn by the famed filmmaker and director, Lucio Visconti, with inspiration from the crested logo of Moet & Chandon.

91/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, March 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"From Campania, or more importantly the island of Ischia. A generational family business producing wines of frisky, Mediterranean vibe, albeit the Gulf of Naples here. Anyways, this one is a blend of biancolella and forastera, notable local varieties.
It’s crisp and saline, shows wisps of dried herbs and a sluice of just ripe nectarine and grapefruity freshness. Tightly wound, energetic and minerally with loads of refreshment factor on its side. It’s not particularly complex, but it has some detail and is very easy to drink. I had a glass at midday and it felt righteous alongside pickles, charcuterie and the like (thank you Napier Quarter, as always). A delight."
