Biancolella d'Ischia 2024, Crateca
Marine profile, tense and full of vibrant volcanic energy. On the nose, notes of citrus, yellow flowers, rosemary, and hints of sea spray emerge. On the palate, it is sharp and savory, characterized by a sculptural structure and a noble freshness that carries the sip toward a persistent finish of rare nobility.
Biancolella d'Ischia 2024, Crateca
Crateca's Biancolella d'Ischia 2024 is a monument to sculptural nobility and the heroic viticulture of the island of Ischia. Cultivated on terraces suspended between sky and sea, this wine elevates the native Biancolella variety to absolute nobility. In a recent and masterful vintage like 2024, the Castagna family has managed to preserve the saline and mineral tension of the volcanic soils. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of marine and floral complexity: notes of broom, Mediterranean herbs, and white peach merge with deep hints of sea salt, sulfur, fresh almond, and an extraordinarily noble trace of citrus. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is direct, savory, and incredibly dynamic, supported by a noble acidic backbone and a sculptural structure, densely packed yet agile, finishing on an endless, mineral note of absolute nobility.
